Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we performed tayammum up to the shoulders. The narrator named Abu Bakr says: I was present with Sufyan when Yahya bin Saeed al-Qattan asked him about this, so he narrated this hadith and mentioned that Zuhri had narrated this. Then he mentioned: I was present with Ismail bin Umayyah when he came to Zuhri and said: O Abu Bakr! (this is the kunyah of Ibn Shihab Zuhri) People object to two hadiths you have narrated. Zuhri asked: Which are they? So he said: This narration that in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) we used to perform tayammum up to the shoulders. Zuhri said: Abdullah bin Abdullah narrated this to me from his father, from Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: One narration is transmitted from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he ordered the person who touches his armpit to perform wudu, so I felt from Zuhri’s face that he denied this narration (i.e., he did not narrate this). Although Amr bin Dinar had previously narrated this to us from Zuhri. Later, I mentioned this narration to Amr, so he said: Yes! He narrated this to us.
