Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1333 — Sayyiduna Abu Dharr was busy looking after
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُقَدَّمٌ قَالَ : نَا الْقَاسِمُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ . عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فِي غُنَيْمَةٍ لَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ I " فَسَكَتَ ، فَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ ، فَسَكَتَ ، فَقَالَ : I " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ قَالَ : إِنِّي جُنُبٌ ، فَدَعَا لَهُ الْجَارِيَةَ بِمَاءٍ ، فَجَاءَتْهُ ، فَاسْتَتَرَ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ وَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- : I " يُجْزِئُكَ الصَّعِيدُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَجِدِ الْمَاءَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً ، فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَهُ فَأَمِسَّهُ جِلْدَكَ . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا هِشَامٌ ، وَلَا عَنْ هِشَامٍ إِلَّا الْقَاسِمُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ : مُقَدَّمٌ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) was busy looking after a few goats of his in Madinah. When he came back, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Abu Dharr!" He remained silent. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called him again, and he remained silent again. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr, may your mother lose you!" He said: "I am in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah)." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) had a slave-girl bring water. She brought the water, and he screened himself behind his mount and took a ritual bath (ghusl). Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Clean earth suffices you, even if you do not find water for twenty years; then when you find water, let it pour over your body."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) except Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) except al-Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him), and Muqaddam (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it."
