[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on some of his journeys until we were in the desert or in a place with no water. So the Prophet ﷺ camped at his place of prostration and the people camped with him. They did not have any water with them, so the people came to Abu Bakr and said, "We do not see what Aisha did, she camped with the Prophet ﷺ and the people, but they do not have any water." So the Prophet ﷺ reproached me and said, "What Allah wants to say, He will say." And he jabbed me with his hand in my side, and I could not move except to the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was on my thigh. So he slept until morning without ablution. Then Allah revealed the verse of Tayammum (dry ablution). So Usayd ibn Hudayr said, "What is the first blessing for you, O family of Abu Bakr?" So we sent the camel that I was riding and found the water bag under it.
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ أَوْ بِذَاتِ الْجَيْشِ انْقَطَعَ عِقْدِي فَأَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى الْتِمَاسِهِ وَأَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ فَأَتَى النَّاسُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالُوا مَا نَرَى مَا صَنَعَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَقَامَتْ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَبِالنَّاسِ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ فَعَاتَبَنِي وَقَالَ لِي مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَجَعَلَ يَطْعَنُ بِيَدِهِ فِي خَاصِرَتِي فَلَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنَ التَّحَرُّكِ إِلَّا مَكَانُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَنَامَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وُضُوءٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ مَا هِيَ بِأَوَّلِ بَرَكَتِكُمْ يَا آلَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَبَعَثْنَا الْبَعِيرَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْنَا الْعِقْدَ تَحْتَهُ
