Sahih al-Bukhari 345 (Book 7, Hadith 12) #341
Performing Tayammum in the Absence of Water

SUMMARY: It is permissible to perform Tayammum if water is not available, but 'Umar was not satisfied with 'Ammar's statement.

Narrated Abu Wail: Abu Musa said to 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, "If one does not find water (for ablution) can he give up the prayer?" 'Abdullah replied, "If you give the permission to perform Tayammum they will perform Tayammum even if water was available if one of them found it cold". Abu Musa said, "What about the statement of 'Ammar to 'Umar?" 'Abdullah replied, "'Umar was not satisfied by his statement".
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ـ هُوَ غُنْدَرٌ ـ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ لاَ يُصَلِّي‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ رَخَّصْتُ لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا، كَانَ إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُهُمُ الْبَرْدَ قَالَ هَكَذَا ـ يَعْنِي تَيَمَّمَ وَصَلَّى ـ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُ عَمَّارٍ لِعُمَرَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ عُمَرَ قَنِعَ بِقَوْلِ عَمَّارٍ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Perform tayamumm when there is no access to water

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the Islamic practice of ablution before prayer. If one does not have access to water, they can perform an alternative form of ablution called tayammum. This involves using clean sand or dust instead of water for purification. The hadith also mentions a disagreement between Umar and Ammar about this practice. Umar was not satisfied with Ammar's statement on the matter, although it is still permissible to perform tayammum if no water is available. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for purity before prayer and that we should respect other people's opinions even if we do not agree with them completely.
