Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Have you not heard this statement of Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand, and during the journey, ghusl became obligatory upon me. I did not find water, so I rolled in the earth just as animals do. Then I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident as well. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It would have been sufficient for you to do only this.' Saying this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on the earth, then joined both hands together and wiped his face with them."

Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Do you not know that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not satisfied with Hazrat Ammar's (may Allah be pleased with him) statement?"

Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "Once I was sitting with Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Abu Abdur Rahman! Tell me, if a person becomes impure and does not find water, will he remain in the state of janabah for a whole month and will not be allowed to perform tayammum?' He replied: 'No, even if water is not found for a month.' Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Then what will you do with this verse of Surah Ma'idah in which Allah Almighty says: "If you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth."' Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: 'If people are given this permission, they will start performing tayammum and praying even in slight cold.' Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: 'Do you dislike it only for this reason?' He replied: 'Yes!' Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Have you not heard this statement of Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand, and during the journey, ghusl became obligatory upon me. I did not find water, so I rolled in the earth just as animals do. Then I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident as well. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It would have been sufficient for you to do only this." Saying this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on the earth, then joined both hands together and wiped his face with them.' Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Do you not know that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not satisfied with Hazrat Ammar's (may Allah be pleased with him) statement?'"

Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! Tell me, if a person becomes impure and does not find water, will he remain in the state of janabah for a whole month and not be allowed to perform tayammum?" He replied, "No, even if water is not found for a month." Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then what will you do with the verse in Surah Ma'idah in which Allah Almighty says: 'If you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth'?" Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "If people are given this permission, they will start performing tayammum with earth and praying even in slight cold." Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Then what about the statement Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) made to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him)?"

Abu Wa'il says that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) to Kufa so that they could persuade the people to set out, Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a speech there and said: I know that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) is the noble wife of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter, but Allah Almighty has tested you in this trial as to whether you follow him or Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

Abdur Rahman bin Abzi says that a man came to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I am required to perform ghusl but I cannot find water." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do not perform the prayer." Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Do you not remember that you and I were in an army, and both of us were required to perform ghusl and could not find water? So you did not perform the prayer, while I rolled in the earth and performed the prayer. Then when we came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I mentioned this incident to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this.' Saying this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hands on the earth, blew on them, and then wiped them over his face and hands." The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, ending with Hazrat Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) reply, "Why not, we entrust you to whatever you choose."

Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, Shu'bah narrated to us, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Dharr, from Ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abza, from his father, that a man came to Umar, and Ibn Ja'far mentioned a narration similar to that of al-Hakam, and added: He said: And Salamah doubted, he said: I do not know whether he said in it: the elbows or to the hands. So Umar said: Yes, we appoint you over what you have undertaken.

Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! Tell me, if a person becomes impure and does not find water, should he perform the prayer?" He replied, "No." Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Have you not heard what Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me on an errand, and during the journey, I became obliged to perform ghusl (ritual bath), but I did not find water, so I rolled in the earth just as animals do. Then I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this incident. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do this.' Saying this, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his hand on the earth, then wiped both hands together, and then wiped his face." Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do you not know that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was not satisfied with Hazrat Ammar's (may Allah be pleased with him) statement?" Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then what about the verse of tayammum?" Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If we give people this concession, then even in slight cold, they will start performing tayammum."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a book to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! While passing through Banu Qurayza, I met my brother who gave me some comprehensive sayings from the Torah in writing. Should I present them before you?" Upon this, the color of the blessed face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed. I said to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you not see the face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Seeing this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as our Messenger." Then that state of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ended. He then said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if Musa (Moses) were alive and you were to follow him, leaving me, you would surely go astray. You are my share among the nations, and I am your share among the Prophets."

It is narrated from Hazrat Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever finds a lost item should have two just men bear witness over it, and should carefully remember its pouch and its sealed mouth. Then, if its owner comes, he should not hide it from him, because he is more deserving of it. And if its owner does not come, then it is Allah’s property; He gives it to whomever He wills.

It is narrated from Hazrat Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two people abuse each other, the sin is upon the one who started it, unless the oppressed also exceeds the limit. And those two persons who abuse each other are both devils who utter nonsense and lies.

It is narrated from Hazrat Iyad (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said during a sermon: My Lord has commanded me that I should teach you those things which He has taught me today and of which you are unaware. (So my Lord has said:) Every wealth that I have bestowed upon My servants is lawful... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and at the end said: The people of Hell will be of five types: the weak person who has neither wealth nor property and is considered among you as a follower, who does not strive for the acquisition of family or wealth...
