Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1089

وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَرَجَ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ ، فَمَرَّ بِأَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ : هَلْ مِنْ مَاءٍ لِوُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ فَقَالُوا : مَا عِنْدَنَا مَاءٌ إِلَّا فِي إِهَابِ مَيْتَةِ دَبَغْنَاهَا بِلَبَنٍ . فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنَّ دِبَاغَهُ طَهُورَهُ ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَالْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ ، وَقَدْ أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى ضَعْفِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was going out to take part in a battle, and he passed by some dwellings of the Arabs. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sent them a message: Is there water for the Messenger of Allah to perform ablution? They replied: The only water we have is in (a waterskin made from) the hide of a dead animal, which we have tanned with milk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent them a message that its tanning is itself the means of purifying it. Then the water was brought, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution with it and offered the prayer.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Ufayr bin Ma'dan, whose weakness the hadith scholars agree upon.
