Home Hadith Hadith 333
The Prophet (ﷺ) came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and greeted him. But he did not
return back the greeting till he went to a (mud) wall and wiped his face and hands with its dust
(performed Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.

Aisha said, "I borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a man to
search for it and he found it. Then the time of the prayer became due and there was no water. They
prayed (without ablution) and informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it, so the verse of Tayammum was
revealed." Usaid bin Hudair said to `Aisha, "May Allah reward you. By Allah, whenever anything
happened which you did not like, Allah brought good for you and for the Muslims in that."

`Ammar bin Yasir said to `Umar, "Do you remember that you and I (became Junub while both of us)
were together on a journey and you didn't pray but I rolled myself on the ground and prayed? I
informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about it and he said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this.' The
Prophet then stroked lightly the earth with his hands and then blew off the dust and passed his hands
over his face and hands."
