Hadith Narrated By Ammar ibn Yasir

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) granted permission to a person who was sexually defiled to eat or drink or sleep after performing ablution.

They (the Companions of the Prophet) wiped with pure earth (their hands and face) to offer the dawn prayer in the company of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him). They struck the ground with their palms and wiped their faces once. Then they repeated and struck the ground with their palms once again and wiped their arms completely up to the shoulders and up to the armpits with the inner side of their hands.

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) encamped at Ulat al-Jaysh and Aisha was in his company. Her necklace of onyx of Zifar was broken (and fell somewhere). The people were detained to make a search for that necklace until the dawn broke. There was no water with the people. Therefore AbuBakr became angry with her and said: You detained the people and they have no water with them. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, sent down revelation about it to His Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) granting concession to purify themselves with pure earth. Then the Muslims stood up with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and struck the ground with their hands and then they raised their hands, and did not take any earth (in their hands). Then they wiped with them their faces and hands up to the shoulders, and from their palms up to the armpits.

The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: The rinsing of the mouth and snuffing up water in the nose are acts that bear the characteristics of fitrah(nature). He then narrated a simmilar tradition (as reported by Aisha), but he did not mention the words "letting the beard grow." He added the words "circumcision" and "sprinkling water on the private part of the body."He did not mention the words "cleansing oneself after easing." Abu Dawud said: A simmilar tradition has been reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas. He mentioned only five sunnahs all relating to the head, one of them being parting of the hair; it did not include the wearing of the beard. Abu Dawud said: The tradition as reported by Hammad has also been transmitted by Talq bin Habib, Mujahid, and Bakr bin Abdullah bin al-Muzani as their own statement (not as a tradition of the Prophet). They did not mention the words "letting the beard grow. The version transmitted by Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abi Maryam, Abu Salamah, and Abu Hurairah from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) mentions the words "letting the beard grow." A similar tradition has been reported by Ibrahim al-Nakhai. He mentioned the words "wearing the beard and circumcision."
