مختصر صحيح بخاري
Mukhtasar Sahih Bukhari
Allah’s saying:“If you do not find water...”
Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), until when we reached Al-Baida or Dhat al-Jaish, my necklace broke (and fell). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stayed to look for it, and the people also stayed with him, and there was no water at that place (nor did the people have any water). Therefore, the people went to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Do you not see what (Umm al-Mu'mineen) Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and all the people stay, and they are at a waterless place, and they have no water with them. Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became angry with me and said whatever Allah willed him to say, and he began poking me in my side with his hand. The head of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was on my thigh and he was sleeping, so due to the intensity of pain I could not even move. Then in the morning, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) got up, while he was at a place without water, so Allah, the Most Great and Exalted, revealed the verse of tayammum. So everyone performed tayammum, and on that day Sayyiduna Ibn Huzair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O family of Abu Bakr! This is not your first blessing. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The camel I was on was made to stand, and the necklace was found underneath it.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I have been given five things which were not given to anyone before me. (1) I have been helped by awe (cast into the hearts of the enemy) for a distance of one month’s journey. (2) The entire earth has been made a mosque and pure for me, so whenever the time of prayer comes for anyone of my Ummah, he should pray wherever he is. (3) The spoils of war have been made lawful for me, and they were not made lawful for anyone before me. (4) I have been given permission to intercede. (5) Every prophet was sent only to his own people, but I have been sent to all mankind."
Performing dry ablution (tayammum) when water is unavailable and prayer time is short
Abu Juhaim bin Harith Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came from the direction of Bi’r Jamal, and a man (Abu Juhaim himself) met him and greeted him with Salam. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to him until he came to a wall, struck it with his hand, wiped his face and hands, and then replied to the greeting.
Striking both hands on earth and blowing off dust in tayammum
Narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said to Amir al-Mu'minin Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do you not remember that we and you were on a journey and became in a state of janabah, so you did not pray, but I rolled myself in the soil and prayed? Then I mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this.' (Saying this) he struck his both hands on the earth, blew into them, and then wiped his face and hands with them."
Pure earth suffices for Muslim’s ablution
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were on a journey with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and we traveled at night until, when it was the end of the night, we stopped to rest and everyone slept, and for a traveler, there is no sleep sweeter than this. Then the heat of the sun woke us up. The first to wake up was such-and-such a person, then such-and-such a person, then Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was the fourth to wake up. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slept, no one would wake him until he woke up himself, because we did not know what was happening to him in his dreams. But when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) woke up and saw the state that had overcome the people—and he was a strict-natured man—he said the takbir and raised his voice with the takbir, and kept raising his voice with the takbir until, because of his voice, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up. When he woke up, the people complained to him about the difficulty that had befallen them. So he said: "No harm," or (he said): "It will not harm you. Let us go (because this was not intentional)." Then they set out and after going a short distance, they stopped and water for ablution was brought, then he performed ablution and the call to prayer was given, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer. When he finished the prayer, suddenly he saw a man sitting in a corner who had not prayed with the people. So he said: "O so-and-so! What prevented you from praying with the people?" He said: "I became junub (in a state of major ritual impurity) and there was no water." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then use the earth (perform tayammum), it is sufficient for you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, and the people complained to him of thirst. So he stopped again and called a man and called Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Both of you go and search for water." So both of them set out and met a woman who was sitting on her camel between two water skins. They asked her: "Where is water?" She said: "I was at the water yesterday at this time, and our men have stayed behind." They said to her: "Well, come now." She said: "Where?" They said: "To the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She said: "That man who is called irreligious?" They said: "Yes, the very one you think (so), come on." So they brought her to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and described the whole situation to him. Sayyiduna Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then the people made her dismount from her camel, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a vessel (i.e., a container), and opened the mouths of both water skins and poured some water from them into that vessel. (After that) he closed the upper mouths and opened the lower mouths and called out among the people: "Drink water and give your animals to drink." Whoever wished, drank, and whoever wished, gave to drink, and in the end, the one who had become junub was given a vessel of water, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and pour it over yourself." And the woman was standing, watching all that was being done with her water, and by Allah, when they stopped taking water from her water skins, it was as if, in our opinion, they were even fuller than when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had started taking water from them. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Gather something for her." So the people gathered for her some Ajwa dates, flour, and sattu (roasted barley meal), etc., until a good amount of food was collected for her, and it was tied in a cloth and placed in front of her on her camel. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "You know that we have not diminished anything from your water, but Allah is the One who gave us to drink." Then the woman returned to her people, as she had been delayed on the way. They said: "Who detained you?" She said: (An amazing thing happened) "Two men met me and took me to that man who is called irreligious, and he did such-and-such." By Allah, surely that man is either the greatest magician between this and that (i.e., between the heavens and the earth)—and she gestured with her index and middle fingers and raised them towards the sky, meaning the heavens and the earth—or he is truly the Messenger of Allah. After that, the Muslims kept fighting the idolaters around her area, and the settlement (village) in which the woman lived. Then one day she said to her people: "I think that these people are deliberately leaving you alone, so do you have any inclination towards Islam?" So they accepted her advice and entered Islam.
