It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a boy who was skinning a sheep. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Step aside, and I will show you (something)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his hand between the skin and the flesh and pushed it in until it was hidden up to the armpit. Then he led the people in prayer, and he did not perform ablution.
(b) Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Amr added in his narration: that is, he did not touch water.
(c) Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) also narrates this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as mursal, without mentioning Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) as the link.
