Sahih al-Bukhari
Rubbing hands and feet with dust (Tayammum)
Chapter: The performance of Tayammum by a non-traveller (is permissible) when water is not available and when one is afraid that the time of Salat (prayer) may elapse
Narrated Abu Juhaim Al-Ansari:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and greeted him. But he did not return back the greeting till he went to a (mud) wall and wiped his face and hands with its dust (performed Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.
Sahih al-Bukhari 337
