عن عائشة أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها قالت: خَرَجْنا مع رَسولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ في بَعْضِ أسْفارِهِ، حتّى إذا كُنّا بالبَيْداءِ، أوْ بذاتِ الجَيْشِ، انْقَطَعَ عِقْدٌ لِي، فأقامَ رَسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ على التِماسِهِ، وأَقامَ النّاسُ معهُ، ولَيْسُوا على ماءٍ، وليسَ معهُمْ ماءٌ، فأتى النّاسُ أبا بَكْرٍ فَقالوا: ألا تَرى ما صَنَعَتْ عائِشَةُ؟ أقامَتْ برَسولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وبِالنّاسِ معهُ، ولَيْسُوا على ماءٍ، وليسَ معهُمْ ماءٌ؟ فَجاءَ أبو بَكْرٍ ورَسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ واضِعٌ رَأْسَهُ على فَخِذِي قدْ نامَ، فَقالَ: حَبَسْتِ رَسولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ والنّاسَ، ولَيْسُوا على ماءٍ، وليسَ معهُمْ ماءٌ، قالَتْ: فَعاتَبَنِي، وقالَ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ أنْ يَقُولَ، وجَعَلَ يَطْعُنُنِي بيَدِهِ في خاصِرَتِي، فلا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إلّا مَكانُ رَسولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ على فَخِذِي، فَنامَ رَسولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حتّى أصْبَحَ على غيرِ ماءٍ، فأنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ فَتَيَمَّمُوا فَقالَ أُسَيْدُ بنُ الحُضَيْرِ: ما هي بأَوَّلِ بَرَكَتِكُمْ يا آلَ أبِي بَكْرٍ، فَقالَتْ عائِشَةُ: فَبَعَثْنا البَعِيرَ الذي كُنْتُ عليه، فَوَجَدْنا العِقْدَ تَحْتَهُ.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 335 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 367)

عن عائشة أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها: أنَّها اسْتَعارَتْ مِن أسْماءَ قِلادَةً فَهَلَكَتْ، فأرْسَلَ رَسولُ اللهِ ﷺ ناسًا مِن أصْحابِهِ في طَلَبِها، فأدْرَكَتْهُمُ الصَّلاةُ، فَصَلَّوْا بغيرِ وُضُوءٍ، فَلَمّا أتَوُا النبيَّ ﷺ شَكَوْا ذلكَ إلَيْهِ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقالَ أُسَيْدُ بنُ حُضَيْرٍ: جَزاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، فَواللَّهِ ما نَزَلَ بكِ أمْرٌ قَطُّ، إلّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكِ منه مَخْرَجًا وجَعَلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فيه بَرَكَةً.
