"عَنْ عَبد الرَّحمنِ بنِ أَبزَى قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ البَاديةِ إلَى عُمَر بنِ الخَطَّابِ فَقَال: يَا أميرَ المؤمنينَ: إنَّمَا نَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ والشَّهْرين لَا نَجِدُ المَاءَ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: أَمَّا أنَا فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأُصَلِّى حَتَّى أَجِدَ المَاءَ، فقال عَمَّارُ بنُ ياسرٍ: أما تذْكُر إذ أنا وأنت بِأَرْضِ كَذَا نرْعَى الإبِلَ فَتَعْلَمُ أنِّى أَجْنَبْتُ، قَالَ: نعم فَتَمعكْتَ في التُّرابِ فَذَكَرْتَ ذَلِك لِلنبىِّ ﷺ فَضَحِكَ وقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ لَيَكْفِيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّعِيدُ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَذَا وَضَربَ بِيَدهِ الأَرْضَ ثم نفخَهُما ثم مَسَح بهِما عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَذِرَاعَيْه إِلَى قَرِيبٍ من نِصْفِ الذِّرَاعِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: اتَّقِ اللَّه يَا عَمَّارُ، فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ: فِيمَا عَلَى لَك مِن حَقٍّ يا أَميرَ المؤْمنِينَ إنْ شِئْتَ أن لَّا أذْكُرَه مَا حَييتُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: كلَّا واللَّه ولَكنْ أُوَلِّيكَ مِن أَمْركَ مَا تَوَلَّيتَ".

"'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abza said: A man from the desert dwellers came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, we stay a month or two months without finding water.' 'Umar said: 'As for me, I would not pray until I find water.' 'Ammar ibn Yasir said: 'Do you not remember when you and I were in such-and-such land, grazing camels, and you know that I became junub, and you rolled in the dust?' He said: 'Yes, and you mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he laughed and said: It would have sufficed you to say this,' and he struck the earth with his hands, blew into them, then wiped them over his face and his forearms up to nearly half the forearm. 'Umar said: 'Fear Allah, O 'Ammar.' 'Ammar said: 'Regarding what right of yours I have, O Commander of the Believers: if you wish, I will not mention it as long as I live.' 'Umar said: 'No, by Allah, but I will appoint you to whatever you have taken charge of.'"
