كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مُوسَى أَرَأَيْتَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِذَا أَجْنَبَ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ، مَاءً كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لاَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يَجِدَ الْمَاءَ. فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَكَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ حِينَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ قَالَ أَلَمْ تَرَ عُمَرَ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ بِذَلِكَ. فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَدَعْنَا مِنْ قَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَمَا دَرَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا يَقُولُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا لَوْ رَخَّصْنَا لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا لأَوْشَكَ إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمُ الْمَاءُ أَنْ يَدَعَهُ وَيَتَيَمَّمَ. فَقُلْتُ لِشَقِيقٍ فَإِنَّمَا كَرِهَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لِهَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ.
I was with `Abdullah and Abu Musa; the latter asked the former, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! What isyour opinion if somebody becomes Junub and no water is available?" `Abdullah replied, "Do not praytill water is found." Abu Musa said, "What do you say about the statement of `Ammar (who wasordered by the Prophet (ﷺ) to perform Tayammum). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Perform Tayammum andthat would be sufficient." `Abdullah replied, "Don't you see that `Umar was not satisfied by `Ammar'sstatement?" Abu- Musa said, "All right, leave `Ammar's statement, but what will you say about thisverse (of Tayammum)?" `Abdullah kept quiet and then said, "If we allowed it, then they wouldprobably perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it (water) cold." Thenarrator added, "I said to Shaqiq, "Then did `Abdullah dislike to perform Tayammum because ofthis?" He replied, "Yes."
