It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that at the time of the Asr prayer, I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). People searched for water to perform ablution, but they could not find any water. The water for the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was presented to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand in that vessel and ordered the people to perform ablution with that water. I saw water gushing forth from beneath the blessed fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The people began to perform ablution, until all of them had completed their ablution.

It is narrated from Thabit, who says: I said to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Hamzah! Please relate to us some of those wondrous things (i.e., miracles) which you yourself witnessed and which you do not narrate from anyone else. He said: One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Zuhr prayer, then he walked and sat at those places where Jibreel (peace be upon him) used to come to him. Meanwhile, Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and called the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Asr prayer. (Upon hearing this) those whose residences were in Madinah Munawwarah all went to their homes so that they could relieve themselves and return with ablution, while some of the Muhajireen whose families were not in Madinah Munawwarah remained behind. A wide-mouthed vessel of water was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He placed his blessed hand in it, but his hand could not fit entirely in the vessel, so he gathered four fingers together and placed them in the vessel and said: Come close and perform ablution. During this, the hand of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in the vessel until all the people had performed ablution. I asked: Abu Hamzah! What do you think, how many people were there? He replied: Between seventy and eighty.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition or a journey, and our number was a little more than two hundred and ten. During this time, the time for prayer arrived. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Does anyone have water?" (Upon hearing this) a man came running with a vessel in which there was a small amount of water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) poured that water into a bowl and performed ablution thoroughly. After that, he moved back and let the people remain there. All the people gathered near the bowl and began to touch the water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw the crowd and noise of the people and said: "Be patient." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand in the water and the bowl and said: "Bismillah." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Complete your ablution." (Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, says:) By Him Who has tested me regarding my eyesight: That day I saw streams of water flowing from between the blessed fingers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), until all the people had performed ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were one hundred and thirty men in the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Does anyone have any food? One man had about one sa’ of food, so its dough was kneaded. After that, a polytheist man came driving some goats, his hair was disheveled and scattered. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Will you sell the goats or give them as a gift? He said: Not as a gift or donation, but I will sell them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought a goat from him, it was slaughtered and prepared. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered its liver, kidneys, etc. to be roasted. By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set aside a portion of the goat’s liver for every man; whoever was present was given it, and for whoever was not present, it was set aside. Two trays of the goat’s meat were prepared. We all ate to our fill and meat was still left in both trays. Then we loaded the leftover food onto a camel.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that one day I brought dates to the service of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and submitted: O Messenger of Allah, pray for blessing in these dates for me. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, spread those dates before him and then prayed. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: Put these dates in a leather bag. To take out dates, put your hand inside and take them out, and do not turn it over and shake it out. Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, says: I gave away so many wasqs (one wasq is sixty sa’ and one sa’ is approximately two kilograms and one hundred grams) in the way of Allah from that bag. We ourselves ate from it and fed others as well. That bag never left my waist. But when the tragedy of the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, occurred, it was cut from my waist and fell (and was lost).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went on an expedition. During this time, the Muslims ran out of provisions and became needy for food. They sought permission from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to slaughter their camels. He, peace and blessings be upon him, granted them permission. When Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, learned of this, he came and said: O Messenger of Allah! These camels carry the Muslims to the enemy, so should they slaughter them? O Messenger of Allah! Instead, if you gather whatever leftover provisions people have and pray to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for blessing in it, that would be more appropriate. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: That is correct. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asked the people for whatever leftover provisions they had. Whatever things people had left, they brought them. He, peace and blessings be upon him, gathered them all in one place and prayed to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for blessing in them. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, had their vessels (and bags, etc.) brought and filled them with food, and much food was left over. On this occasion, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that I am Allah’s servant and His Messenger. Whoever meets Allah sincerely bearing witness to these two statements, without any doubt in them, will enter Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) (this doubt occurred to A'mash) that on the occasion of the Battle of Tabuk, the people faced severe hunger. Then a hadith similar to the previous hadith was mentioned.

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Amrah Ansari narrates from his father that he was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in a battle. During this time, the people faced severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for permission to slaughter some of the riding camels and said that only Allah knows if we will reach our next destination. But when Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, saw that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was about to permit them to slaughter some camels, he said: O Messenger of Allah! What will become of us tomorrow if we are hungry or have to face the enemy on foot? Instead, if you deem it appropriate, ask the people to bring whatever food and drink they have left. We will gather these items in one place. You pray to Allah Almighty for blessing in them; Allah Almighty will bless us through your prayer. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked the people to bring whatever food and drink they had left. People began to bring a handful of food or a little more; the most anyone brought was a sa’ of dates. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gathered all these items and, standing, prayed to Allah Almighty as much as was due for His pleasure. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, called the army to bring their own vessels (bags, sacks, etc.) and fill them with food. All the vessels in the entire army were filled with food, and just as much food remained. Seeing this, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, smiled with such joy that his molar teeth became visible. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I am the Messenger of Allah. Whoever meets Allah Almighty with testimony and heartfelt affirmation of these two things, the Fire will be kept away from him on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) took half a mudd of barley, then picked up a leather container for ghee, in which there was a little ghee. She made a kind of porridge from it, then sent me to invite the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When I reached the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was sitting among the Companions. I said: Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) has sent me; she is inviting you to eat. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Me and these companions of mine as well? Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions came. I went home and said to Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions are coming. Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) went out and began to walk alongside the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! This is only porridge, which Umm Sulaym has prepared from half a mudd of barley (this amount is not enough for so many people to eat). In any case, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered, and the food was presented before him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand in it and said: Call in ten people. So ten people came and ate to their fill, then another ten came, and they too ate to their fill, then another ten came, then another ten came, until forty people ate to their fill, and the food remained as it was, just as before, then we, the household, ate it as well.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was present in the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a bowl of tharid (a dish in which bread is soaked and softened in broth and then eaten) was presented to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and others ate from it, and people continued eating until the time of Zuhr. When one group finished eating and got up, another group would come and eat. A person asked Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): Was more food being added to the dish? He replied: Nothing was added from the earth, but it is possible that it was being increased from the heavens.
