أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ وَنَاسًا يَطْلُبُونَ قِلَادَةً کَانَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ نَسِيَتْهَا فِي مَنْزِلٍ نَزَلَتْهُ فَحَضَرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَی وُضُوئٍ وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَائً فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوئٍ فَذَکَرُوا ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ قَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ جَزَاکِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِکِ أَمْرٌ تَکْرَهِينَهُ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَکَ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ خَيْرًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 326
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent Usaid bin Hudair and some other people to look for a necklace that ‘Aishah had left behind in a place where she had stopped (while traveling). The time for prayer came and they did not have Wudu’, and they could not find any water, so they prayed without Wudu’. They mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed the verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Uudair said: ‘May Allah reward you with good, for by Allah, nothing ever happened to you that you dislike, but Allah makes it good for you and the Muslims.” (Sahih)
