Abu Dawud said: It is narrated on the authority of Ibn Umar that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم performed tayammum, then he returned the salutation to the man.
Narrated Muhajir ibn Qunfudh: Muhajir came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم while he was urinating. He saluted him. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did not return the salutation to him until he performed ablution. He then apologised to him, saying: I disliked remembering Allah except in the state of purification.
