It was recorded by al-Tirmidhī on the authority of Hannād ibn al-Sarī.
Using that same chain of transmission, Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq al-Sarrāj narrated to us; Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us; Abū Muʿāwiya informed us.
Likewise he said: Hannād related to us, Abū Muʿāwiya related to us, from Hishām, from his father, from ʿĀʾisha, who said:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched Usaid ibn Ḥuḍayr along with several other men to look for a necklace of mine that I had forgotten at a campsite where we had stayed. The time for prayer arrived while they were without ablution and could find no water, so they prayed without ablution. When they reported this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the verse concerning dry ablution (tayammum) was revealed.
Usaid then said to me, ‘May Allah reward you with goodness. By Allah, nothing has ever befallen you that you disliked except that Allah made it a means of good for you and for the Muslims.’”
Al-Nasāʾī likewise recorded it (1) from Isḥāq ibn Rāhwayh.
Those who passed away in the same year as Hannād include: Aḥmad ibn ʿĪsā al-Tustarī, Ḥarmala ibn Yaḥyā al-Tujībī, Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā ibn Abī ʿUmar al-ʿAdanī, Hārūn al-Ḥammāl, Aḥmad ibn Saʿīd al-Ribāṭī, Ibrāhīm ibn al-ʿAbbās al-Ṣūlī, and al-Ḥārith ibn Asad al-Muḥāsibī.
