Musnad of Ammar bin Yasir
Musnad Abi Ya'la 1606 — he said: We were with Sayyiduna Umar when
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُمَرَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنَّمَا نَمْكُثُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ لَا نَجِدُ الْمَاءَ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَكُنْ أُصَلِّي حَتَّى أَجِدَ الْمَاءَ ، فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، تَذْكُرُ إِذْ كُنَّا بِمَكَانِ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَنَحْنُ نَرْعَى الْإِبِلَ ، فَتَذَاكَرْنَا أَنَّا أَجْنَبْنَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، فَإِنِّي تَمَرَّغْتُ بِالتُّرَابِ ، فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَدَّثْتُهُ ، فَضَحِكَ ، وَقَالَ : إِذْ كَانَ الصَّعِيدُ لَكَافِيَكَ ، وَضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ الْأَرْضَ ، ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَبَعْضَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : اتَّقِ اللهَ يَا عَمَّارُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ مَا حَيِيتُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا ، وَلَكِنْ نُوَلِّيكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا تَوَلَّيْتَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abza (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came and said: "O Commander of the Believers, at times we stay for a month or two without finding water (so what should we do in such a case?)" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "As for me, I would not pray until I found water." At this Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Commander of the Believers, do you remember when we were at such-and-such a place, herding camels, and we became junub (in a state of major ritual impurity)?" He said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then I rolled about thoroughly in the dust (for the prayer), and then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him about it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said: 'The clean earth would have sufficed you.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck the ground with both his palms, blew into them, and wiped his face and part of his forearms." On hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Ammar, fear Allah." He said: "O Commander of the Believers, if you wish, I will not narrate this incident for as long as I live." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No (it is not like that); rather, we leave to you the responsibility of what you have taken upon yourself."
