Allah عزوجل says
( وَ
اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ مَّرْضٰۤی اَوْ عَلٰی سَفَرٍ اَوْجَآءَ اَحَدٌ مِّنۡکُمۡ مِّنَ
الْغَآئِطِ اَوْ لٰمَسْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوۡا مَآءً فَتَیَمَّمُوۡا
صَعِیۡدًا طَیِّبًا فَامْسَحُوۡا بِوُجُوۡہِکُمْ وَاَیۡدِیۡکُمۡ مِّنْہُ ) ـ4ـ
‘If you are ill, or on a journey, or one of you has
returned after answering the call of nature, or you have been intimate with
women, and you are not able to find any water, then take pure sand, and wipe
with it your faces and hands.’ [Surah 4,
Verse 43]
Hadith 1: It
is reported in Sahih Bukhari on the authority of Ummul Momineen Siddiqa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا wherein she says; ‘We were on a journey
with Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم , and on reaching Bayda, or Zaat Al Jaysh, my necklace broke off, so
Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم stopped over, to look for it, and
everyone else stopped over with him صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم . There was no water present there, and neither did the people have
any water with them, so the people went to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ and said, ‘Do you not see what
Hazrat A’isha رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہا has done? She has caused Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم and everyone else to stop at a place
where there is no water and nor are they carrying any water with them.’ Hazrat
Abu Bakr Siddique رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ
عنہ
approached me and noticed that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم had been resting with his head on my
lap. He said, ‘You have held up Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم and everyone else in a place where there is no water and
they are not carrying with them any water as well!’ Hazrat Abu Bakr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ then rebuked me say whatever Allah willed
for him to say, and he then started to poke me in the side with his hand, and
the only reason I did not move, was because Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم was resting on my lap. The day dawned at a place in which
there was no water. Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ
تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم woke and noticed there was no water. The verse of
Tayammum was then revealed, so everyone performed tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ said,
‘O Family of Abu Bakr! This is not the first blessing which you have brought us!’
(i.e. you are always bringing forth such blessings). She further says, ‘The
camel on which I was seated got up and we found the necklace beneath it.’
Translator’s Note: It should be noted that had this event
not occurred we would not had Tayammum. This incident also points to the
Ilm-e-Ghaib of Rasoolullah . The Wahabis say that this incident proves that he did
not have knowledge of the unseen, whereas in reality it proves that he did and
actually abstained from informing his companions about the whereabouts of the
jewels as he knew that there was a greater blessing in them not finding it, meaning
that he was aware that the verses regarding Tayammum would be revealed. If this
is not Ilm-e-Ghaib, then what is?
Hadith 2: It
is reported in Sahih Muslim on the authority of Huzaifa رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that
Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم said, ‘There are 3 things through which we have been
blessed with excellence over others (1) Our ‘Saffs’ (lines in Namaaz) have been
made like the ‘Saffs’ of the Angels; (2) The entire earth has been made a
Musjid for us (i.e. we can pray on any pure piece of earth); (3) when we are
not able to find any water then the sand of the earth has been made a purifier
for us.’
Hadith 3: Imam
Ahmed, Abu Dawud and Tirmizi have reported on the authority of Abu Zirr رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘Pure sand is the ablution of
a Muslim even if he is not able to find water for 10 years and when he finds
water then he should use it for his body (i.e. he should perform Ghusl and Wudu
with it), as this is better for him.
Hadith 4: Abu
Dawud and Daarmi reported on the authority of Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ wherein
he says, ‘Two people went on a journey and they had no water with them. When
the time of Namaaz approached they performed tayammum with pure sand and performed
their Namaaz. Then whilst still within the stipulated time for that Namaaz they
found water, so one from amongst them performed Wudu and repeated his Namaaz
whilst the other did not repeat his Namaaz. On returning they presented themselves
before Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم and mentioned their situation to him. Addressing the person
who did not repeat, Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم
said,
‘You did which was Sunnat and your Namaaz is valid.’ Then addressing the person
who performed Wudu and repeated his Namaaz, Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘You have received two folds reward.’
Hadith 5: It
is in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim on the authority of Imran رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ wherein he says, ‘We were on a
journey with Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم . Huzoor صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ
علیہ وسلم led the Namaaz and on completion he noticed a person who
was sitting away from everyone else and had not performed Namaaz with the rest
of the people. He said, ‘What has hindered you from
performing your Namaaz with the people?’ He صلی اﷲ
تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘I am in need of a bath
(Ghusl) and there is no water available’. He صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم said, ‘Use sand for it is sufficient for you.’
Hadith 6: It
is reported in Sahihain on the authority of Abu Juhaim bin Haarith رضی اﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ that Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم was returning from the direction of
Birr Al Jamal. A person greeted Rasoolullah صلی اﷲ
تعالیٰ علیہ وسلم but he did not reply to him until he came to a wall and
made masah of his holy face and blessed hands. Only thereafter did he reply to
him.’
