Hadith 25455

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : " خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ أَوْ بِذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ انْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لِي ، فَأَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْتِمَاسِهِ ، وَأَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ ، وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ ، فَأَتَى النَّاسُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، فَقَالُوا : أَلَا تَرَى مَا صَنَعَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؟ أَقَامَتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِالنَّاسِ ، وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ . فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاضِعٌ رَأْسَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي ، فَقَالَ : حَبَسْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالنَّاسَ ، وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ ، قَالَتْ : فَعَاتَبَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ ، وَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ بِيَدِهِ فِي خَاصِرَتِي ، وَلَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إِلَّا مَكَانُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فَخِذِي ، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَاءٍ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ فَتَيَمَّمُوا ، فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ الْحَضِيرِ : مَا هِيَ بِأَوَّلِ بَرَكَتِكُمْ يَا آلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَتْ : فَبَعَثْنَا الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، فَوَجَدْنَا الْعِقْدَ تَحْتَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once we set out on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached the place of Baida or Dhat al-Hubaysh, my necklace fell and got lost somewhere. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent some people to search for the necklace, and the people stayed there. Meanwhile, the time for prayer came and the people had no water. The people came to Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Look at what Aisha has done? She has made the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the people stop at a place where there is no water." Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had his head on my thigh. He said, "You have detained the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the people, and they do not even have water," and he scolded me severely and said to me whatever Allah willed, and he began poking his hand into my side, and I could not move because the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed head was on my thigh. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept sleeping like that, and the people did not find water until morning. Then Allah Almighty revealed the command of tayammum (dry ablution). Upon this, Hazrat Usayd bin Hudayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O family of Abu Bakr! This is not your first blessing." She says that when the camel I was riding was made to stand up, the necklace was also found underneath it.
