It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "During the time of the Messenger of Allah we often did not find anything to eat, and if we did, we did not have handkerchiefs, except our hands, arms and feet. Then we would pray without performing ablution." Abu 'Abdullah said: (This Hadith is) Gharib (Unfamiliar - containing a single narrator at one stage). It has only been narrated through Muhammad bin Salamah.
