Sunan an-Nasai 310 (Book 1, Hadith 311) #14917
The Revelation of Tayammum

SUMMARY: The hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions were travelling and a necklace of Aisha's broke. They stopped to look for it, but there was no water nearby. Abu Bakr scolded Aisha for making them stop, but then Allah revealed the verse of Tayammum which allowed them to perform ablution without water.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys, and when we were in Al-Baida' or Dhat Al-Jaish, a necklace of mine broke and fell. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed there looking for it and the people stayed with him. There was no water near them, and they did not have water with them. The people came to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'Do you see what 'Aishah has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people stop and they are not near any water and they do not have water with them'. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh and had gone to sleep. He said: 'You have detained the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people, and they are not near any water and they do not have any water with them'." 'Aishah said: "Abu Bakr rebuked me and said whatever Allah willed he would say. He started poking me on my hip, and the only thing that prevented me from moving was the fact that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept until morning when he woke up without any water. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed the verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said: 'This is not the first time we have been blessed because of you, O family of Abu Bakr!'" She said: "Then we made the camel that I had been riding stand up, and we found the necklace beneath it".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an incident that happened when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions were travelling on one of their journeys. During this journey, a necklace belonging to 'Aishah broke and fell off. Everyone stopped looking for it, as they did not have any water with them or near them to perform ablution after finding it. Abu Bakr scolded 'Aishah for making everyone stop in such a situation where they did not have access to any water. However, Allah revealed the verse of Tayammum which allowed people to perform ablution without using any water in such situations where there is no access to clean or pure water available nearby or with them during travel or otherwise. This incident shows us how merciful Allah is towards His creation as He provided an alternative solution when people needed it most in order to fulfill their religious obligations even if they do not have access to clean or pure water available nearby or with them during travel or otherwise .
