حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، - الْمَعْنَى وَاحِدٌ - عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرٍ وَأُنَاسًا مَعَهُ فِي طَلَبِ قِلاَدَةٍ أَضَلَّتْهَا عَائِشَةُ

فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ التَّيَمُّمِ

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Usayd ibn Hudayr and some people with him to search the necklace lost by Aisha. The time of prayer came and they prayed without ablution. When they returned to the Prophet (ﷺ) and related the fact to him, the verse concerning tayammum was revealed.

Ibn Nufayl added: Usayd said to her: May Allah have mercy upon you! Never has there been an occasion when you were beset with an unpleasant matter but Allah made the Muslims and you come out of that.

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( فِي طَلَب قِلَادَة ) : بِكَسْرِ الْقَاف كُلّ مَا يُعْقَد وَيُعَلَّق فِي الْعُنُق وَيُسَمَّى عِقْدًا ( أَضَلَّتْهَا عَائِشَة ) : أَيْ أَضَاعَتْهَا. أَضْلَلْت الشَّيْء إِذَا ضَاعَ مِنْك فَلَمْ تَعْرِف مَكَانه كَالدَّابَّةِ وَالنَّاقَة وَمَا أَشْبَهَهُمَا , فَإِنْ أَخْطَأْت مَوْضِع الشَّيْء الثَّابِت كَالدَّارِ قُلْت ضَلَلْته بِغَيْرِ الْأَلِف كَذَا فِي الْمِصْبَاح ( فَصَلَّوْا بِغَيْرِ وُضُوء ) : وَفِي رِوَايَة لِلْبُخَارِيِّ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاء فَصَلَّوْا. قَالَ النَّوَوِيّ فِي شَرْح مُسْلِم : وَفِيهِ دَلِيل عَلَى أَنَّ مَنْ عَدِمَ الْمَاء وَالتُّرَاب يُصَلِّي عَلَى حَاله. وَهَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَة فِيهَا خِلَاف لِلْخَلَفِ وَالسَّلَف , ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْأَقْوَال ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّابِع تَجِب الص…
