English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Jabir said: We set out on a journey. One of our people was hurt by a stone, that injured his head. The then had a sexual dream. He asked his fellow travelers: Do you find a concession for me to perform tayammum? They said: We do not find any concession for you while you can use water. He took a bath and died. When we came to the Prophet ﷺ, the incident was reported to him. He said: They killed him, may Allah kill them! Could they not ask when they did not know ? The fire of ignorance is inquiry. It was enough for him to perform tayammum and to our some drops of water or bind a bandage over the wound (the narrator Musa was doubtful); then he should have wiped over it and washed the rest of his body.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ خُرَيْقٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْنَا فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَصَابَ رَجُلًا مِنَّا حَجَرٌ فَشَجَّهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ احْتَلَمَ ، فَسَأَلَ أَصْحَابَهُ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لِي رُخْصَةً فِي التَّيَمُّمِ ؟ فَقَالُوا : مَا نَجِدُ لَكَ رُخْصَةً وَأَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ ، فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ . فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ : "
قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ ، أَلَا سَأَلُوا إِذْ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا ، فَإِنَّمَا شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالُ ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ وَيَعْصِرَ أَوْ يَعْصِبَ شَكَّ مُوسَى عَلَى جُرْحِهِ خِرْقَةً ثُمَّ يَمْسَحَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَغْسِلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ
