A’isha stepped out of her litter for a few minutes to seek privacy. The army marched on without her without realising that A’isha was missing.
A’isha who trusted completely in Allan, sat down and waited, hoping that someone would realise and come back for her.
A Muslim man named Safwawn ibn al-Mu’attal came and rescued her.

Outline the plot of the Lost Necklace
A’isha stepped out of her camel after a long day’s travel.
In the process she lost her precious onyx necklace.
The prophet intended to move on as they had limited water but decided to stay a little bit longer to look for A’isha’s necklace. Because they needed water for drinking and for rituals, they would not be able to renew their ablution with water.
Muhammad received a revelation that you can complete ablution when you have no water available by using fine dust or sand. (tayammum)
A’isha gave up but as she was leaving she found her necklace under her camel.
