Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Shaqiq narrates that Hazrat Abu Musa said to Hazrat Abdullah, "Did you not hear this statement of Hazrat Ammar, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand and I became junub (in a state requiring ritual purification), and I could not find water, so I began to roll in the earth like an animal. Then I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole matter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this with your hands.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hands once on the ground, then wiped the left hand over the right hand, then wiped the outer parts of the hands and the face." Upon hearing this, Hazrat Abdullah said, "Do you not know that Hazrat Umar did not content himself with Hazrat Ammar's statement?"
