4608. Narrated 'Aīshah رضي الله عنها: A necklace of mine was lost at Al-Baidā' while we were on our way to Al-Madīna. The Prophet ﷺ made his camel kneel down and dismounted and laid his head on my lap and slept. Abū Bakr came to me and hit me violently on the chest and said, "You detained the people because of a necklace." I kept as motionless as a dead person because of the position of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, (on my lap) although Abū Bakr had hurt me (with the slap). Then the Prophet ﷺ woke up and it was the time for the morning (prayer). Water was sought, but in vain; so the following Verse was revealed : "O you who believe! When you intend to offer Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer)..." (V.5:6) Usaid bin Ḥuṣair said, "Allāh has blessed the people for your sake, O the family of Abū Bakr. You are but a blessing for them."
