Sunan Abi Dawud 317 (Book 1, Hadith 317) #20608
The Revelation of Tayammum

SUMMARY: This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sent a group of people to search for a lost necklace belonging to Aisha, and when they returned, the verse concerning tayammum was revealed.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah sent Usayd ibn Hudayr and some people with him to search the necklace lost by Aisha. The time of prayer came and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet and related the fact to him, the verse concerning tayammum was revealed. Ibn Nufayl added: Usayd said to her: May Allah have mercy upon you! Never has there been an occasion when you were beset with an unpleasant matter but Allah made the Muslims and you come out of that.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، - الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ - عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ وَأُنَاسًا مَعَهُ فِي طَلَبِ قِلاَدَةٍ أَضَلَّتْهَا عَائِشَةُ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ زَادَ ابْنُ نُفَيْلٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ يَرْحَمُكِ اللَّهُ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ تَكْرَهِينَهُ إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَلَكِ فِيهِ فَرَجًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an incident that happened during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. One day, Aisha lost her necklace and the Prophet ﷺ sent Usayd ibn Hudayr and some other people to search for it. When they were on their way back after searching for it, it was time for prayer but they did not have water with them so they could not perform ablution before praying. When they returned to the Prophet ﷺ and told him what happened, Allah revealed a verse concerning tayammum which allowed them to perform ablution without water in such situations. Usayd said that whenever there is an unpleasant situation involving Aisha or Muslims in general, Allah always helps them out of it. This hadith teaches us that we should always trust in Allah's help no matter what difficult situation we are facing because He will always be there for us if we turn towards Him with faith and patience. It also teaches us that even if we cannot do something due to certain circumstances like lack of water or any other reason then Allah has provided alternatives like tayammum which can be used instead so that our religious obligations are fulfilled properly without any difficulty or hardship faced by us due to those circumstances.
