It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), when the time for the Asr prayer came, the people searched for water for ablution but did not find any. Then a small amount of water for ablution was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his hand in that vessel and ordered the people to perform ablution with it. (Sayyiduna Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) I saw that water was gushing out from beneath the fingers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and then all the people, up to the last man (of the army), performed ablution with that water.

And with this same chain of narration, it is reported that (Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Talha) heard Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Abu Talha said to (his wife) Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her): I have heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sounding weak, and I sense the effect of hunger in it. Do you have anything (to eat)? She said: Yes! Then she took out some loaves of barley bread, then took her shawl and wrapped the bread in it, covering it from above and below, then placed it under my arm and made part of it my garment. Then I was sent to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting and people were sitting around him. I stood near them, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did Abu Talha send you? I said: Yes! He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: For food? I said: Yes! So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions: Get up. (Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out and I went ahead until I came and informed Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Umm Sulaym! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is coming with people, and we do not have food to feed them. Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Then Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) went and met the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) both came. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Umm Sulaym! Bring whatever you have. So she brought the bread. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the bread be broken into pieces and made into a dish, and Umm Sulaym poured some ghee from a vessel over it, so it became like a dish of churī (crumbled bread with ghee). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the supplication that Allah willed, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring ten men." Ten men were called, and they ate to their fill and left. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call ten men." Ten men were called, and they ate to their fill and left. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Call ten men." Ten men were called, and they ate to their fill and left. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called ten men, until all the people, who were seventy or eighty, ate to their fill.
