A'isha reported she had borrowed from Asma' (her sister) a necklace and it was lost. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent men to search for it. As it was the time for prayer, they offered prayer without ablution (as water was not available there). When they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), they made a complaint about it, and the verses pertaining to tayammum were revealed. Upon this Usaid b. Hadair said (to 'A'isha):May Allah grant you a good reward! Never has been there an occasion when you were beset with difficulty and Allah did not make you come out of that and made it an occasion of blessing for the Muslims

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو اسامة، ح وحدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا ابو اسامة، وابن، بشر عن هشام، عن ابيه، عن عايشة، انها استعارت من اسماء قلادة فهلكت فارسل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ناسا من اصحابه في طلبها فادركتهم الصلاة فصلوا بغير وضوء فلما اتوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شكوا ذلك اليه فنزلت اية التيمم . فقال اسيد بن حضير جزاك الله خيرا فوالله ما نزل بك امر قط الا جعل الله لك منه مخرجا وجعل للمسلمين فيه بركة
