Is the statement, "It is narrated that a woman's beloved necklace broke, so her husband stayed up all night gathering its beads so that she would not grieve," correct and attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his wife Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her? If it is not correct, how can one denounce those who spread it and prevent the dissemination of such sayings?
The phrase widely circulated on social media: "It is narrated that there was a woman whose beloved necklace broke, so her husband stayed up all night collecting its beads so she would not grieve. He is Muhammad, peace be upon him," is a distortion of the incident of Aishah's necklace breaking, may Allah be pleased with her. The correct account is that the Prophet, peace be upon him, made the people stop to search for it, and he did not stay up collecting its beads. The correct story is that Aishah lost her necklace during one of their journeys, so the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the Companions searched for it. Due to this incident, the verse of (dry ablution) was revealed because water was not available. Then the necklace was found under the camel Aishah was riding. This distortion should be denounced, and the correct knowledge should be disseminated.
