أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ أَنْبَأَنَا خَالِدٌ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ سَمِعْتُ ذَرًّا يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبْزَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ وَقَدْ سَمِعَهُ الْحَكَمُ مِنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ
أَجْنَبَ رَجُلٌ فَأَتَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَاءً قَالَ لاَ تُصَلِّ قَالَ لَهُ عَمَّارٌ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّا كُنَّا فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَأَجْنَبْنَا فَلَمْ نَجِدْ مَاءً فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي تَمَعَّكْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ وَضَرَبَ شُعْبَةُ بِكَفَّيْهِ ضَرْبَةً وَنَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ دَلَكَ إِحْدَاهُمَا بِالأُخْرَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ شَيْئًا لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لاَ حَدَّثْتُهُ وَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَزَادَ سَلَمَةُ قَالَ بَلْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ

"A man became Junub and came to 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'I have become Junub and I cannot find any water.' He said: 'Do not pray.' 'Ammar said to him: 'Do you not remember when we were on a campaign and became Junub. You did not prayed, then I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him that, and he said: 'This would have been sufficient for you.'" - (One of the narrators) Shu'bah struck his hands once and blew into them, then he rubbed them together, then wiped his face with them - ('Ammar said): "'Umar said something I did not understand." So he said: "If you wish, I shall not narrate it." Salamah mentioned something in this chain from Abu Malik, and Salamah added that he said: "Rather, we will let you bear the burden of what you tool upon yourself."
Notes
فَقَالَ عُمَرُ شَيْئًا لاَ أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ. فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لاَ حَدَّثْتُهُ. وَذَكَرَ شَيْئًا فِي هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ وَزَادَ سَلَمَةُ قَالَ بَلْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ

- Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
حديث عمار فورد بذكر الكفين في الصحيحين وبذكر المرفقين في السنن وفي رواية إلى نصف الذراع وفي رواية إلى الآباط فأما رواية المرفقين وكذا نصف الذراع ففيهما مقال وأما رواية الآباط فقال الشافعي وغيره مما تقدم ذكره مرارا ومما يقوي رواية الصحيحين في الاقتصار على الوجه والكفين
machine translationAs for the hadith of ʿAmmār, it came with mention of the two palms in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, with mention of the elbows in the Sunan, in one narration up to half the forearm, and in another up to the armpits. The narrations of the elbows and likewise of half the forearm are open to criticism. As for the narration of the armpits, al-Shāfiʿī and others said what has been mentioned many times before. Among what strengthens the narration of the two Ṣaḥīḥs is that it limits tayammum to the face and the two palms.
in سنن النسائي, p. 318 - Taḥāwī
ما ذكره الطحاوي وارتضى به العيني في عمدة القاري من أن حديث عمار لا يصلح حجة في كون التيمم إلى الكوعين أو المرفقين أو المنكبين أو الإبطين لاضطرابه وفيه أن الاضطراب في هذا المقام غير مضر لكون روايات المرفقين والمنكبين مرجوحة ضعيفة بالنسبة إلى غيرها فسقط الاعتبار بها وروايات الآباط قصتها مقدمة على قصة روايات الكفين فلا تعارضها فبقيت روايات الكفين سالمة عن القدح والمعارضة انتهى كلام صاحب السعاية مختصرا
machine translationWhat al-Ṭaḥāwī mentioned, and al-ʿAynī accepted in ʿUmdat al-Qārī, is that the hadith of ʿAmmār is not fit to be used as evidence for tayammum extending to the wrists, or the elbows, or the shoulders, or the armpits, because of its inconsistency (iḍṭirāb). But the inconsistency here does no harm, because the narrations of the elbows and the shoulders are weaker and outweighed in comparison with the others, so they are discounted. As for the narrations of the armpits, their story came earlier than the story of the narrations of the two palms, so they do not conflict with it. Thus the narrations of the two palms remain free from criticism and conflict. End of the words of the author of al-Siʿāyah, abridged.
