Sunan Ibn Majah 565 (Book 1, Hadith 299) #29917
The Concession of Dry Ablution

SUMMARY: Allah revealed a concession allowing dry ablution, and Abu Bakr was unaware of this blessing.

It was narrated that 'Ammar bin Yasir said: "Aishah dropped a necklace and stayed behind to look for it. Abu Bakr went to 'Aishah and got angry with her for keeping the people waiting. Then Allah revealed the concession allowing dry ablution, so we wiped our arms up to the shoulders. Abu Bakr went to 'Aishah and said: 'I did not know that you are blessed'."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَقَطَ عِقْدُ عَائِشَةَ فَتَخَلَّفَتْ لاِلْتِمَاسِهِ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَيْهَا فِي حَبْسِهَا النَّاسَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الرُّخْصَةَ فِي التَّيَمُّمِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَمَسَحْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ إِنَّكِ لَمُبَارَكَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the revelation of a concession from Allah that allowed for dry ablution, or tayammum. This was revealed to Prophet Muhammad's companion 'Ammar bin Yasir, who narrated it to others. In the hadith, it is mentioned that Aishah dropped her necklace and stayed behind to look for it while the rest of the people moved on. When Abu Bakr found out he got angry with her for keeping them waiting. However, soon after Allah revealed this concession which allowed people to perform dry ablution instead of washing with water in certain situations such as when water is not available or if one is ill and cannot use water due to their condition. After learning about this blessing from Allah, Abu Bakr went back to Aishah and apologized for getting angry with her as he did not know she was blessed by Allah in this way. This hadith teaches us that we should always be patient when faced with difficult situations as we do not know what blessings may come our way from Allah in return for our patience and faithfulness towards Him.
