\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn al-Qasim\nfrom his father that A'isha umm al-muminin said, "We went out on a\njourney with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him\npeace, and, when we came to Bayda' or Dhat al-Jaysh, a necklace of\nmine broke. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him\npeace, stopped to look for it and the people stopped with him. There\nwas no water nearby and the people were not carrying any with them, so\nthey came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and said, 'Don't you see what A'isha\nhas done? She has made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and\ngrant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby and\nthey are not carrying any with them.' "\n\n\nA'isha continued,\n"Abu Bakr came and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and\ngrant him peace, had fallen asleep with his head on my thigh . Abu\nBakr said, 'You have made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him\nand grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no water nearby\nand they are not carrying any with them ' "\n\n\nShe continued,\n"Abu Bakr remonstrated with me and said whatever Allah willed him to\nsay, and began to poke me in the waist. The only thing that stopped me\nfrom moving was that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and\ngrant him peace, had his head on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah, may\nAllah bless him and grant him peace, slept until morning found him\nwith no water. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, sent down the ayat of\ntayammum and so they did tayammum. Usayd ibn Hudayr said, 'This is not\nthe first baraka from you, O family of Abu Bakr.'"\n\n\nA'isha\nadded, "We roused the camel I had been on and found the necklace under\nit."\n\n\nMalik was asked whether a man who did tayammum for one\nprayer should do tayammum when the time of the next prayer came or\nwhether the first tayammum was enough. He said, "No, he does tayammum\nfor every prayer, because he has to look for water for every prayer.\nIf he looks for it and does not find it then he does tayammum."\n\n\nMalik was asked whether a man who did tayammum could lead others\nin prayer if they were in wudu. He said, "I prefer that someone else\nshould lead them. However, I see no harm in it if he does lead them in\nprayer."\n\n\nYahya said that Malik said that a man who did\ntayammum because he could not find any water, and then stood and said\nthe takbir and entered into the prayer, and then someone came with\nsome water, did not stop his prayer but completed it with tayammum and\ndid wudu for future prayers.\n\n\nYahya said that Malik said,\n"Whoever rises for prayer and does not find water and so does what\nAllah has ordered him to do of tayammum has obeyed Allah. Someone who\ndoes find water is neither purer than him nor more perfect in prayer,\nbecause both have been commanded and each does as Allah has commanded.\nWhat Allah has commanded as far as wudu is concerned is for the one\nwho finds water, and tayammum is for the one who does not find water\nbefore he enters into the prayer."\n\n\nMalik said that a man who\nwas in a state of major ritual impurity could do tayammum and read his\nportion of Qur'an and do voluntary prayers as long as he did not find\nany water. This applied only to circumstances in which it was\nallowable to pray with tayammum.\n\n
