حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جَعْفَرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ذَرٍّ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَی عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا کَانَ يَکْفِيکَ وَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَی الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَفَخَ فِيهَا وَمَسَحَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَکَفَّيْهِ شَکَّ سَلَمَةُ وَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فِيهِ إِلَی الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ يَعْنِي أَوْ إِلَی الْکَفَّيْنِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 324
Ibn Abdur-Rahman bin Abza reported on the authority of his father this incident from Ammar. He said: This would have been enough for you, and the Prophet ﷺ struck the ground with his hand. He then blew it and wiped with it his face and hands. Being doubtful Salamah said: I do not know (whether he wiped) up to the elbows or the wrists.
