Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA): Allah’s Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "The soil is a purifier for a Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years; but if he finds water, he must fear Allah and let it touch his skin." Narrated Abu Dharr (RAA): a similar Hadith transmitted by at-Tirmidhi

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RAA): Two men set out on a journey and when the time of Salat (prayer) came they had no water. They performed Tayammum with clean earth and prayed. Later on they found water within the time of the prayer. One of them repeated his prayer with ablution but the other did not repeat. Then they came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and related the matter to him. Addressing himself to the one who did not repeat, he said, "You followed the Sunnah and your (first) prayer was enough for you." [9] He said to the one who performed ablution and repeated: "For you there is a double reward". [Reported by Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i]

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (RAA): concerning the verse,“And if you are ill or on a journey...”(an-Nisa': 43). He said, "If a man sustains a wound, which he suffered during Jihad (in the cause of Allah) or ulcers, then he became junub (sexually impure) and is afraid that if he bathes he would die; he may perform ablution with clean earth (Tayammum). [Reported by Ad- Daraqutni in a Mawquf (untraceable) Hadith and Al-Bazzar in a Marfu' (traceable) one. Ibn Khuzaima and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih (sound)] .

Narrated `Ali (RAA): One of my forearms was broken. Then I consulted Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) and he ordered me to wipe over the bandages. [Reported by Ibn Majah with a very weak chain of narrators] .

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RAA): concerning the man who had a head injury, and then he made Ghusl and died: Allah's Messenger Peace be upon him said, "It would have been enough for him to perform Tayammum and wrap it with something and wipe over the wrapping and wash the rest of his body." [Reported by Abu Da'ud, but there is a weakness in its chain of narrators]

Narrated Ibn `Abbas (RAA): It is from the Sunnah of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) for the man to pray only one prayer with each Tayammum, and then perform Tayammum for the next prayer. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni but with a very weak chain of narrators]

Narrated `A'ishah (RAA): Fatima bint Abu Hubaish used to have a prolonged flow of blood (Istihadah) and so Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him)· told her, "If it is the blood of menstruation it will be dark (almost black) and recognizable (by women). If it is that, then leave the prayer. If it is other than that, then make ablution and pray." [Reported by Abu Da'ud and An-Nasa’i. Ibn Hibban and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih (sound).]

Narrated Hamnah bint Jahsh: 'I had a very strong prolonged flow of blood. I went to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) to ask him about it. He said, "This is a strike from Satan. So observe your menses for six or seven days, then perform Ghusl until you see that you are clean. Pray for twenty-four or twenty-three nights and days and fast, and that will suffice you. Do so every month just as the other women menstruate (and are purified). But if you are strong enough to delay the Dhuhr prayer and advance the Asr prayer, then make Ghusl when your purified and combine the Dhuhr and the Asr prayers together; then delay the Maghrib prayer and advance the Isha prayer, and perform Ghusl and combine the two prayers, do so. Do so, and then wash at dawn and pray Fajr. This is how you may pray and fast if you have the ability to do so." And he said, "That is the more preferable way to me." [Reported by the five imams except An- Nasa’i, At-Tirmidhi graded it Sahih (sound)]

Narrated `A'ishah (RAA): Umm Habiba bint Jahsh complained to Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) about a prolonged flow of blood. He said to her, "Keep away (from prayer) as long as your normal period used to prevent you (from praying), and afterwards she should perform Ghusl (and pray)". (She used to take a bath for every prayer). [Reported by Muslim.] In another version by Al-Bukhari, he ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "And perform ablution for every Salat (prayer)". Abu Dawud and others transmitted a similar narration.
