Abdur-Rahman bin Abza said: While I was with Umar, a man came to him and said: We live at a place (where water is not found) for a month or two (what should we do, if we are sexually defiled). Umar said: So far as I am concerned, I do not pray until I find water. Ammar said: Commanded of the faithful, do you not remember when I and you were among the camels (For tending them)? There we became sexually defiled. I rolled down on the ground. We then came to the Prophet ﷺ and I mentioned that to him. He said: It was enough for you to do so. Then he struck the ground with both his hands. He then blew over them and wiped his face and both hands by means of them up to half the arms. Umar said: Ammar, fear Allah. He said: Commander of the faithful, if you want, I will never narrate it. Umar said: Nay, by Allah, we shall turn you from that towards which you turned (i. e. you have your choice).

Ibn Abza reported on the authority of Ammar bin Yasir in this tradition as saying (from the Prophet): Ammar, it would have been enough for you (to do) so. He then stuck only one stroke on the ground with both his hands; he then stuck one with the other; then wiped his face and both arms up to half the forearms and did not reach the elbows. Abu Dawud said: This is also transmitted by Waki from al-Amash from Salamah bin Kuhail from Abdur-Rahman bin Abza. It is also transmitted through a different chain by Jarir from al-Amash from Salamah from Saeed bin Abdur-Rahman bin Abza from his father.

Ibn Abdur-Rahman bin Abza reported on the authority of his father this incident from Ammar. He said: This would have been enough for you, and the Prophet ﷺ struck the ground with his hand. He then blew it and wiped with it his face and hands. Being doubtful Salamah said: I do not know (whether he wiped) up to the elbows or the wrists.

This is also transmitted by Ibn Abdur-Rahman bin Abza on the authority of his father from Ammar. He reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: It would have been enough for you to strike the ground with you hands and then wipe them your face and your hands (up to the wrists). He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Abu Dawud said: This is also transmitted by Shubah from Husain on the authority of Abu Malik. He said: I heard Ammar saying so him his speech, except that in this version he added the words: "He blew. " And Husain bin Muhammad narrated from Shubah on the authority of al-Hakam and in this version added the words: "He (the Prophet) struck the earth with his plans and blew. "

Ammar bin Yasir said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about tayammum. He commanded me to strike only one stroke (i. e. the strike the ground) for (wiping) the face and the hands.

Aban said: Qatadah was asked about tayammum during a journey. He said: A traditionist reported to me from al-Shabi from Abdur-Rahman bin Abza on the authority of Ammar bin Yasir who reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: (He should wipe) up to the elbows.

Abd al Rahman bin Abza said that he offered prayer along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but he did not complete the takbir. Abu Dawud said: This means that when he raised his head after bowing and when he was about to prostrate, he did not utter the takbir, and when he stood up after prostration, he did not utter the takbir.

Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to observe witr with (reciting) "Glorify the name of thy Lord, the most High" (Surah 87), "Say O disbelievers" (Surah 109), and "Say, He is Allah, the One, Allah, the eternally besought of all" (112).

Narrated Ubayy ibn Kab: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered salutation in the witr prayer, he said: Glorify be to the king most holy.

Narrated Ubayy bin Kab: "Say, in the bounty of Allah, and in His mercy- in that let you rejoice. "

Narrated Ibn Abzi: Ubayy ibn Kab) said: The Prophet ﷺ read the verse: "Say: In the bounty of Allah and in His mercy--in that let you rejoice: that is better than the wealth you hoard. "
