I saw Ibn Wala al-Sabai wear a fur. I touched it. He said: Why do you touch it? I asked Ibn Abbas saying: We are the inhabitants of the western regions, and there (live) with us Berbers and Magians. They bring with them rams and slaughter them, but we do not eat (the meat of the animals) slaughtered by them, and they come with skins full of fat.

Hadith No: 714 Narrated/Authority of Aisha
We went with the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) on one of his journeys and when we reached the place Baida or Dhat al-jaish, my necklace was broken (and fell somewhere). The Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) along with other people stayed there for searching it. There was neither any water at that place nor was there any water with them (the Companions of the Holy Prophet). Some persons came to my father Abu Bakr and said: Do you see what Aisha has done? She has detained the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and persons accompanying him, and there is neither any water here or with them. So Abu Bakr came there and the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was sleeping with his head on my thigh. He (Abu Bakr) said: You have detained the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and other persons and there is neither water here nor with them. She (Aisha) said: Abu Bakr scolded me and uttered what Allah wanted him to utter and nudged my hips with his hand. And there was nothing to prevent me from stirring but for the fact that the messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was lying upon my thigh. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) slept till it was dawn at a waterless place. So Allah revealed the verses pertaining to tayammum and they (the Holy Prophet and his Companions) performed tayammum. Usaid bin al-Hudair who was one of the leaders said: This is not the first of your blessings, 0 Family to Abu Bakr. Aisha said: We made the camel stand which was my mount and found the necklace under it.
Hadith No: 715 Narrated/Authority of Aisha
she had borrowed from Asma’ (her sister) a necklace and it was lost. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) 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 (may peace be upon him), they made a complaint about it, and the verses pertaining to tayammum were revealed. Upon this Usaid b. Hadair said (to Aisha): 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.
Hadith No: 716 Narrated/Authority of Shaqiq
I was sitting in the company of Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa said: O Abd al-Rahman (kunya of Abdullah bin Masud), what would you like a man to do about the prayer if he experiences a seminal emission or has sexual intercourse but does not find water for a month? Abdullah said: He should not perform tayammum even if he does not find water for a month. Abdullah said: Then what about the verse in Surah Maida: “If you do not find water, betake yourself to clean dust”? Abdullah said: If they were granted concession on the basis of this verse, there is a possibility that they would perform tayammum with dust on finding water very cold for themselves. Abu Musa said to Abdullah: You have not heard the words of Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but could find no water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) then and made a mention of that to him and he (the Holy Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do this. Then he struck the ground with his hands once and wiped his right hand with the help of his left hand and the exterior of his palms and his face. Abdullah said: Didn’t you see that Umar was not fully satisfied with the words of Ammar only?
