عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الصَّعِيدَ الطَّيِّبَ وَضُوءُ الْمُسلم وَإِن لم يجد لاماء عشر سِنِين فغذا وجد المَاء فليمسه بشره فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ»

Abu Dharr reported God’s messenger as saying, “Good earth is a means of ablution for a Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years; but when he finds water he should make it touch his skin, for that is better.”
