     ✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. He tapped my back with a stick that was with him, so he turned aside and I turned aside with him until we came to such-and-such a place. He made his camel kneel, then went away until he was hidden from me. Then he came back and said: "Do you have water with you?" I had a small water skin, so I brought it to him and poured water for him. He washed his hands and face. Then he went to wash his forearms, and he was wearing a Syrian jubbah with tight sleeves. He took his hands out from under his clothes and washed his face and forearms. He mentioned something about his forelock and his turban. Ibn Awn said: "I do not remember as I would like." Then he wiped over the leather socks. Then he said: "Do you need anything?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have no need." Then we came and the people had been led by Abd al-Rahman b. Awf, who had prayed one rak'ah of the dawn prayer with them. I went to inform him, but he forbade me. So we prayed what we caught up with and made up what we had missed.

And [the second matter is] the prayer of the imam behind a man from his flock. He said: "I witnessed from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he was on a journey, and the time for prayer came. The Prophet ﷺ was delayed, so they established the prayer and put Ibn Awf forward, and he led them in prayer. Then the Prophet ﷺ came and prayed behind Ibn Awf the remainder of the prayer. When Ibn Awf said the salam, the Prophet ﷺ stood up and made up what he had missed."

Then he washed his face, then he went to pull up his forearms, and he was wearing a Syrian jubbah with tight sleeves, and it was too tight, so he took his hand out from under it. He washed his face and his hands—he said in the hadith: he washed the face twice, but I do not know whether it was like that or not—then he wiped his forelock and wiped over the turban and wiped over the leather socks.

     "Abdullah told us: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying at the House (the Ka'bah) and a group of the nobles of Quraish were sitting there. They had just slaughtered a camel and one of them said: "Which of you will take these stomach contents with the blood and wait until he prostrates, then put them on his back?" 'Abdullah said: 'The one who was most doomed got up and took the stomach contents, then went and waited until he prostrated himself, and put it on his back. Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was a young girl, was told about that, and she came running and took it off his back. When he had finished praying he said: "O Allah! Punish the Quraish," three times, "O Allah, punish Abu Jahl bin Hisham, Shaibah bin Rabi'ah, 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah, 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ait" until he had listed seven men from Quraish.' 'Abdullah said: 'By the One Who revealed the Book to him, I saw them dead on the day of Badr (their corpses) in a single dry well.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 307)

     ✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys until when we were at al-Bayda' or Dhat al-Jaysh, a necklace of mine broke. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped to search for it, and the people stopped with him. They were not at a water source, nor did they have water with them. The people went to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq ؓ and said: "Do you not see what 'A'ishah has done? She has detained the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people, and they are not at a water source and have no water with them." Abu Bakr came while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had placed his head on my thigh and had fallen asleep. He said: "You have detained the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people, and they are not at a water source and have no water with them." 'A'ishah said: Abu Bakr rebuked me and said whatever Allah willed him to say, and he began poking me with his hand in my side. Nothing prevented me from moving except the position of the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept until morning without water. Then Allah revealed the verse of tayammum, so they performed tayammum. Usayd b. al-Hudayr said: "This is not the first of your blessings, O family of Abu Bakr." Then we made the camel that I was riding rise, and we found the necklace beneath it.

     ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a stop at the beginning of al-Jaysh, and 'A'ishah was with him. Her necklace of Dhifar onyx broke, so the people were detained in search of her necklace until dawn broke, and the people had no water with them. Abu Bakr became angry with her and said: "You have detained the people, and they have no water with them." Then Allah revealed the concession of purifying oneself with clean earth. So the people stood with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and struck their hands on the ground, then raised their hands without grasping any dust, and wiped their faces and hands up to the shoulders, and from the palms of their hands to the armpits. Malik b. Anas disagreed with him; he narrated it from al-Zuhri from 'Ubayd Allah b. 'Abd Allah from his father from 'Ammar.

As for me, I rolled in the dust, then came to the Prophet ﷺ. He laughed and said: 'Clean earth would have sufficed you.'
