In the expedition of, ``BANU-MUSTALAGH'', the prophet took his young wife, HAZRAT AISHA with him. It was a late evening when the army was ordered to return back to Medina. In that very time, that Aisha, the mother of believers had gone a distance to perform ablution for the night prayer, she lost her valuable necklace. The search for the lost necklace kept her busy for a while, and when she returned to the camp, they all had gone! The carriers had also taken her camel-litter which was usually covered and provided with curtains, and she being very light in weight, her absence was not known to them. So they put the litter on the camel and set out with the army. When the army reached the next halt, they noticed that she was not on the couch.

      When she saw the camp gone, she knew not what to do in the dark of the night and where to go. She therefore sat down to rest, hoping that some one would come to fetch her, as soon as her absence was noticed.

      Next morning she was found by Safwan a young pious believer, whose duty was to search the place when the camp had left, with the aim to pick up anything valuable that could have been left behind.

      When Safwan saw the mother of believers there, he very politely lowered his camel, so that Hazrat Aisha could ride on the animal, and then rode on, and Safwan brought her leading the camel on foot.

      This incident gave occasion to the hypocrites, and in particular to their chief, ``ABDULLAH-IBN-UBAI'' to raise a malicious scandal against the prophet's young and pious wife, in order to defame the Messenger of God; but on contrary, shame and infamy fell upon themselves, when their shameful plot was disclosed.
