Salim narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both): We performed tayammum with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (i.e., during his time). In it, there were two strikes. One strike was for the blessed face and both palms, while the other strike was for both arms up to the elbows. Two narrators of this narration, Sulaiman bin Arqam and Sulaiman bin Abu Dawood, are weak.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding tayammum: "There will be two strikes in it. One strike will be for the face, and the second strike will be for the hands up to the elbows."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In tayammum, one strike will be for the face, and one strike will be for the forearms up to the elbows." All its narrators are trustworthy; however, the correct view is that this narration is mawquf.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came and said, "I have become impure due to janabah, and I rolled in the soil." So he (Jabir) said, "Strike (your hand) on the ground." Then he struck his hand on the ground and wiped his face with both hands, then he struck his other hand on the ground and wiped his hands up to the elbows with it.

A narrator named Aban reports: Qatadah was asked about tayammum during travel, so he replied, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to narrate that it should be done up to the elbows. Hasan al-Basri and Ibrahim al-Nakha'i say: (wiping) should be done up to the elbows. Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tayammum should be done up to the elbows." A narrator named Abu Ishaq reports: I mentioned this narration to Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (may Allah have mercy on him), and he liked this narration very much. He said: "How excellent is this narration."

Salim narrates about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): When he performed tayammum, he would strike both hands on the ground. With his hands, he would wipe up to the elbows. He would not shake the dust off his hands.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say:“(In tayammum) there will be two strikes. One strike will be for the face, and one strike will be for both arms.”

Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed him to perform tayammum on the face and both arms.

Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Tayammum is the name of striking (i.e., wiping) the face and both arms.”

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came and said, "I have become junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and I rolled in the soil." So he (Jabir) said, "Strike your hand on the ground." He struck his hand on the ground and then wiped his face with it, then again struck his hand on the ground and then wiped both his arms up to the elbows with both hands.
