Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: During the expedition of Hudaybiyyah, the people were afflicted with thirst. There was a bowl placed before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from which he was performing ablution. When the people made a request to him, he said: What is your situation? The people replied: We do not have (water) for ablution nor for drinking. Only the water that is before you is available. The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed both his hands over the bowl and then supplicated as Allah willed. The narrator says: Then water began to gush forth from between the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like springs. The narrator says: So we drank from it and performed ablution with it.

The narrator states: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): How many people were you? He replied: We were fifteen hundred people, but even if we had been one hundred thousand, it would have sufficed for us.
