Named after

عَائِشَة

If your name is Aisha

She lost a necklace, and every Muslim gained a mercy.

If your name is Aisha, here's who you're named after.

On one of the Prophet's ﷺ journeys, Aisha's necklace broke and was lost. He stopped to look for it, and everyone stopped with him, in a place with no water, and no water with them.

People went to her father, Abu Bakr: look what Aisha has done. He came and scolded her. The Prophet ﷺ was asleep with his head on her lap, so she didn't move.

At dawn there was still no water. Then Allah revealed tayammum: when you can't find water, wipe your face and hands with clean earth, and pray. (Quran 5:6)

One of the companions, Usaid ibn Hudair, said: "This is not the first blessing to come through you, family of Abu Bakr." And when they moved her camel, there was the necklace, underneath it. (Sahih al-Bukhari 334)

Every time a Muslim prays without water nearby, it's the mercy that came the day Aisha lost her necklace.
