The Revelation of Tayammum

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how the verse of Tayammum was revealed when the Prophet's companions were unable to perform ablution due to a lost necklace.

Narrated 'Aisha: That she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and then it got lost. So Allah's Messenger sent some people from his companions in search of it. In the meantime the stated time for the prayer became due and they offered their prayer without ablution. When they came to the Prophet, they complained about it to him, so the Verse regarding Tayammum was revealed . Usaid bin Hudair said, "(O 'Aisha!) may Allah bless you with a good reward, for by Allah, never did a difficulty happen in connection with you, but Allah made an escape from it for you, and brought Allah's Blessings for the Muslims".
حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ قِلاَدَةً، فَهَلَكَتْ، فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاسًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فِي طَلَبِهَا، فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ، فَلَمَّا أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ شَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ‏.‏ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ جَزَاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ قَطُّ، إِلاَّ جَعَلَ لَكِ مِنْهُ مَخْرَجًا، وَجُعِلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ بَرَكَةٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the verse of Tayammum was revealed. It happened when 'Aisha borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it got lost. So Allah's Messenger sent some people from his companions in search of it. In the meantime the stated time for prayer became due and they offered their prayer without ablution as they could not find water to perform wudu. When they came back to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , they complained about it and then Allah revealed the verse regarding Tayammum which allowed them to perform their prayers without water if there is difficulty in finding it or any other reason that prevents them from performing wudu with water. Usaid bin Hudair praised 'Aisha for her good deed as he said that never did a difficulty happen in connection with her but Allah made an escape from it for her and brought blessings for Muslims through this incident.
