Nafi said: Accompanied by Abdullah bin Umar, I went to Ibn Abbas for a certain work. He (Ibn Abbas) narrated a tradition saying: A man passed by the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in a street, while he returned from the toilet or just urinated. He (the man) saluted him, but the Prophet did not return the salutation. When the man was about to disappear (from sight) in the street he struck the wall with both his hands and wiped his face with them. He then struck another stroke and wipes his arms. He then returned the man's salutation. Then he said: I did not return the salutation to you because I was not purified. Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: Muhammad bin Thabit reported a rejected tradition. Ibn Dasah said: Abu Dawud said: No one supported Muhammad bin Thabit in respect of narrating this tradition as to striking the wall twice (for wiping) from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, but reported it as an action of Ibn Umar.

I would have sexual defilement (during my stay there) and I would remain (in this condition) for five or six days. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said: O Abu Dharr. I kept silence. He then said: May your mother bereave you, Abu Dharr: woe be to your mother. He then called a black slave-girl for me. She brought a vessel which contained water. She then concealed me by drawing a curtain and I concealed myself behind a she-camel, and took a bath. I felt as if I had thrown away a mountain from me. He said: Clean earth is a means for ablution for a Muslim, even for ten years (he does not find water); but when you find water, you should make it touch your skin, for that is better. The version of Musaddad has: the goats (were collected) from the alms, and the tradition reported by Amr is complete.
Read More..A man from Banu Amir said: I embraced Islam and my (ignorance of the) religion made me anxious (to learn the essentials). I came to Abu Dharr. Abu Dharr said: The climate of Madina did not suit me. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ordered me to have a few camels and goats. He said to me: Drink their milk. (The narrator Hammad said): I doubt whether he (the Prophet) said: their urine. Abu Dharr said: I was away from the watering place and I had my family with me. I would have sexual defilement and pray without purification. I came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم at noon. He was resting in the shade of the mosque along with a group of Companions. He (the Prophet) said: Abu Dharr. I said: Yes, I am ruined, Messenger of Allah. He said: What ruined you ? I said: I was away from the watering place and I had family with me. I used to be sexually defiled and pray without purification. He commanded (to bring) water for me. Then a black slave-girl brought a vessel of water that was shaking as the vessel was not full. I concealed myself behind a camel and took bath and them came (to the Prophet). The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Abu Dharr, clean earth is a means of ablution, even if you do not find water for ten years. When you find water, you should make it touch your skin. Abu Dawud said: This is transmitted by Hammad bin Zaid from Ayyub. This version does not mention the words their urine. This is not correct. The words their urine occur only in the version reported by Anas and transmitted only by the people of Basrah.
