The grandfather of al-Rabi' bin Badr narrates from a man called al-Asla' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Jibril (peace be upon him) came with the verse of tayammum, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) showed me how wiping is done for tayammum: "I struck my hands on the ground once and wiped my face, then struck them on the ground and wiped my hands up to and including the elbows."
(b) Al-Rabi' bin Badr is weak. (c) We have narrated this view from the Successors, namely Salim bin Abdullah, al-Hasan al-Basri, al-Sha'bi and Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on them).
In this narration al-Rabi' bin Badr is weak, but he is not alone in narrating it.
