4607. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: We set out with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on one of his journeys,
and when we were at Baidā' or at Dhāt-al-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stayed there to search for it, and so did the people along with him. Neither were they at a place of water, nor did they have any water with them. So the people went to Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq and said, "Don't you see what 'Aīshah has done? She has made Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the people stay where there is no water and they have no water with them." Abū Bakr came while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sleeping with his head on my thigh. He said (to me), "You have detained Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and the people where there is no water, and they have no water with them." So he admonished me and said what Allāh wished him to say, and he hit me on my flank with his hand. Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ on my thigh. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allāh revealed the Verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Ḥuḏair said, "It is not the first blessing of yours, O the family of Abū Bakr." Then the camel on which I was riding got up from its place, and the necklace was found beneath it.
