What is the authenticity of the report that Ibn 'Umar performed tayammum and prayed while he could see the walls of Madinah, and this was at the beginning of the time? So what is your guidance if it is authentic?

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : We and the brother had a story, where it was mentioned to us that Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed tayammum and prayed while he could see the walls of Madinah, and this was at the beginning of the time. So what is your guidance regarding this report?

The Shaykh : I do not know about this report, but we infer from the verse as you heard at any time, but the best, as I said, is to delay it as long as he hopes to find water.
