It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man became junub in winter. He asked (what to do) and was ordered to take a ritual bath; he took a ritual bath and died. This was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What was wrong with them? They have killed him; may Allah destroy them," saying it three times, "Allah has made earth, or tayammum, a means of purification." This hadith is mawsul (connected).
