When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, completed the prayer, he said: "O so-and-so! What prevented you from performing Jumu'ah?" He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! My eagerness and desire brought me close to you, where you can see me."

So a man went and brought a little water in a bowl.

Sayyiduna Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, says: There were about seventy people.
