Narrated from Amr ibn al-As: When the Prophet ﷺ sent me during the year of the chains, I had a wet dream on a very cold night, and I feared that I would perish if I performed ghusl, so I did Tayammum and prayed Fajr with my companions. When I came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned this to him, he asked: "O Amr, did you pray with your companions while in a state of Janabah?" I replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I had a wet dream on a very cold night and feared that I would perish if I performed ghusl, and I remembered Allah's statement: 'And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is ever merciful to you' (Quran 4:29), so I performed Tayammum and prayed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed but did not say anything.
