حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ نُبَيْحٍ الْعَنَزِيِّ أَنَّ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ غَزَوْنَا أَوْ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ وَمِائَتَانِ فَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ فِي الْقَوْمِ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَى بِإِدَاوَةٍ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ فَصَبَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي قَدَحٍ قَالَ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه
ُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ وَتَرَكَ الْقَدَحَ فَرَكِبَ النَّاسُ الْقَدَحَ يَمْسَحُوا وَيَمْسَحُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رِسْلِكُمْ حِينَ سَمِعَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَفَّهُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَالْقَدَحِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ فَوَالَّذِي هُوَ ابْتَلَانِي بِبَصَرِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْعُيُونَ عُيُونَ الْمَاءِ يَوْمَئِذٍ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا أَجْمَعُونَ

English Translation
Yahya ibn Hammad narrated to us, Abu Awanah narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Qays, from Nubayh al-Anazi, that Jabir ibn Abdullah (رضي الله عنهما) said: We were on a military expedition — or traveling — and a man from among us was struck by a stone which wounded his head. He then had a wet dream, so he asked his companions: 'Do you find a concession for me to perform tayammum?' They said: 'We do not find any concession for you since you can use water.' So he performed ghusl and died. When we came to the Prophet ﷺ, he was informed of this. He said: 'They killed him, may Allah kill them! Could they not have asked when they did not know? The cure for ignorance is to ask.'
