Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“In tayammum, there will be only one strike, which will be for the face and both arms.”The narrator named Ramadi reports: The narrator named Yazid reports: Whoever adopts this hadith, there is no harm in it.

Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "This is sufficient for you." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his blessed hand on the earth, then blew on it, and with it wiped his face and both arms.

The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, while on a journey, he became junub (in a state requiring ritual purification), so he rolled in the soil. When he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ammar! It would have been sufficient for you to strike your hands on the soil, then blow on them, then wipe your face and your hands up to the wrists with both of them." This narration has been transmitted as a marfu' narration by the narrator named Ibrahim, while other narrators have transmitted it as a mawquf narration, and the hearing of hadiths by its narrator Abu Malik from Sayyiduna Ammar is questionable, because other narrators have transmitted from this Abu Malik from Ibn Abzi from Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him).

The narrator named Abu Malik reports: I heard Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon in Kufa, and while mentioning tayammum, he explained: "In it, one should strike his hand on the earth once, and with it wipe his face and both arms."

Abu Malik narrates regarding Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him): He struck his palms on the earth, then blew on them, and wiped his face and wiped his arms up to the elbows, then Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Tayammum is done like this." The same narration is also transmitted with another chain as a marfu' hadith from Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him).

Imam Sha'bi narrates: It is obligatory to perform tayammum on the limb which is commanded to be washed. The limb which is not commanded to be washed should be omitted in tayammum.

Imam Sha'bi narrates: We have been commanded to perform tayammum on those limbs which we have been commanded to wash in (wudu).
