Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that in the blessed time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man was wounded and then had a wet dream. He took a ritual bath and died. When this news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They killed him, may Allah destroy them! Was not the cure for ignorance to ask?" Bishr bin Bakr is trustworthy and reliable, and this hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), a man was wounded and then had a wet dream. He was ordered to take a ritual bath; he bathed and died. When this news reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They killed him, may Allah destroy them! Was not the cure for ignorance to ask?" Then it reached us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If only he had washed his body and left his head, where the wound was."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a man was wounded, then he became ritually impure (janabah). He asked for a ruling and was ordered to take a ritual bath (ghusl). He took the bath and died. News of this reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They killed him, may Allah destroy them! Was not the cure for ignorance to ask?!" Ata says: It reached me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked after that, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Had he washed his body and left the place where the wound was, that would have sufficed him."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that two men set out on a journey. The time of prayer came and they had no water with them, so they performed dry ablution (tayammum) with clean earth and prayed. Then they found water while the time was still in. One of them repeated the ablution and the prayer, while the other did not. Then they came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him what had happened. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the one who had not repeated: "You acted according to the Sunnah, and your prayer suffices you." And he said to the one who had performed ablution and repeated: "For you there is a double reward." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, because Abdullah bin Nafi' is reliable (thiqah) and he narrated this chain from al-Layth as connected, whereas others narrated it as mursal.

A similar narration is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
