Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A group of people from the desert came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "We are often in the desert for three or four months, and some of us are in a state of janabah, menstruation, or post-childbirth bleeding, and we cannot find water." The Prophet ﷺ said: "You should use the earth." Then he struck his hands on the ground once, and then he struck it again, wiping his face with one hand and his arms up to the elbows with the other.
