[816] 108 - (367) It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "We went out with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on one of his journeys, and when we were in Al-Baidâ' - or in Dhât Al-Jaish - a necklace of mine broke (and fell off). The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ started to look for it, and the people did likewise. They were not near any water source and they did not have any water with them. The people came to Abû Bakr and said: 'Do you not see what 'Aîshah has done? She has delayed the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the people with him. They are not near any water source and they do not have any water with them.' Abû Bakr came and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh and had gone to sleep. He said: 'You have delayed the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and the people. They are not near any water source and they do not have any water with them.' Abû Bakr scolded me, and said whatever Allâh willed he should say. He started poking me in the side with his hand, and nothing prevented me from moving except the fact that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was resting on my thigh. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ slept until morning came and there was no water. Then Allâh revealed the Verse of Tayammum, so they performed Tayammum. Usaid bin Hûqair - who was one of the leaders - said: 'This is not the first of your blessings, O family of Abû Bakr!'" 'Aîshah said: "We made the camel that I had been riding get up, and we found the necklace underneath it."
