Abu Dharr said: A few goats got collected with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Abu Dharr; drive them to the wood. I drove them to Rabadhah a place near Medina. I would have sexual defilement during my stay there and I would remain in this condition for five or six days. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: O Abu Dharr. I kept silence. He then said: May your mother bereave you; Abu Dharr: woe be to your mother. He then called a black slave-girl for me. She brought a vessel which contained water. She then concealed me by drawing a curtain and I concealed myself behind a camel; and took a bath. I felt as if I had thrown away a mountain from me. He said: Clean earth is a means for ablution for a Muslim; even for ten years he does not find water ; but when you find water; you should make it touch your skin; for that is better.The version of Mousaddad has: the goats were collected from the alms; and the tradition reported by Amr is complete.
