It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabbar bin Sakhr that once, on the way back from Makkah Mukarramah, the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "Who will reach the place called Asayah before us?" This was the place where the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had sent us to take possession of the pond and keep it filled until we arrived. I presented myself. The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: "You go." So I set out, and upon reaching the place of Asayah, I took possession of the pond and filled it with water. Then my eyes became heavy and I fell asleep. My eyes opened because of a man whose mount was slipping from his hand; he was trying to stop it from the pond. He said: "O keeper of the pond, reach your pond." When I looked, it was the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). I said: "Very well." Then when the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reached the bank, I took hold of the she-camel's reins and made it sit down. The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) called for a vessel and performed ablution thoroughly. I also performed ablution, and the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood and began to offer the Isha prayer. According to his narration, Sayyiduna Jabbar was standing on the left side of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took him by the hand and made him stand on his right side, and we continued to pray until the people arrived.
