حَدَّثَنَا زَکَرِيَّائُ بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَائَ قِلَادَةً فَهَلَکَتْ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا فَوَجَدَهَا فَأَدْرَکَتْهُمْ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَائٌ فَصَلَّوْا فَشَکَوْا ذَلِکَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ لِعَائِشَةَ جَزَاکِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِکِ أَمْرٌ تَکْرَهِينَهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِکِ لَکِ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ خَيْرًا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 336
Narrated `Urwa's father: Aisha said, "I borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. So Allah's Apostle sent a man to search for it and he found it. Then the time of the prayer became due and there was no water. They prayed (without ablution) and informed Allah's Apostle about it, so the verse of Tayammum was revealed." Usaid bin Hudair said to `Aisha, "May Allah reward you. By Allah, whenever anything happened which you did not like, Allah brought good for you and for the Muslims in that." Al-Jurf and the time for the `Asr prayer became due while he was at Marbad-An-Na`am (sheepfold), so he (performed Tayammum) and prayed there and then entered Medina when the sun was still high but he did not repeat that prayer.
