Bayhaqi 1042 — A man who is far from water with his wife

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ فَهَمَّنِي دِينِي فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: اجْتَوَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَوْدٍ وَبِغَنَمٍ فَقَالَ لِيَ: اشْرَبْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: وَأَشُكُّ فِي أَبْوَالِهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: فَكُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَعِي أَهْلِي فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ فَأُصَلِّي بِغَيْرِ طَهُورٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ فِي رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُوَ فِي ظِلِّ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ هَلَكْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ: وَمَا أَهْلَكَكَ، قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَعْزُبُ عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَعِي أَهْلِي فَتُصِيبُنِي الْجَنَابَةُ فَأُصَلِّي بِغَيْرِ طَهُورٍ فَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَاءٍ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ بِعُسٍّ يَتَخَضْخَضُ مَا هُوَ بِمَلْآنَ فَتَسَتَّرْتُ إِلَى بَعِيرِي فَاغْتَسَلْتُ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ الطَّيِّبَ طَهُورٌ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَجِدِ الْمَاءَ إِلَى عَشْرِ سِنِينَ فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ الْمَاءَ فَأَمْسِسْهُ جِلْدَكَ ".
Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from a man of the Banu Amir tribe that he said: I entered Islam and my religion made me anxious, so I came to Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I found the climate of Madinah unsuitable for me, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered some camels and goats for me and said: "Drink of their milk." Hammad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I am in doubt whether their urine is mentioned in it or not. Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was far from water and my wife was with me; I became junub and prayed without ablution. I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at midday, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting with his Companions in the shade of the mosque. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr!" I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am ruined. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What has ruined you?" I said: I was far from water and my wife was with me; I became junub, and I prayed without ablution. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered water to be brought for me. A black slave-girl brought a vessel in which the water was sloshing about. I screened myself behind a camel and took a ritual bath, then I came, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr! Clean earth is a purifier, even if you do not find water for ten years. When you find water, pour it over your body."
