It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that we set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a battle, and at that time our number was more than 210. The time for prayer arrived, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Does anyone have any water?”A man came running with a small bucket in which there was a little water, and the people had no water besides that. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) poured it into a large bowl, then he performed ablution thoroughly from it and moved away, leaving the bowl there. The people rushed to the bowl saying,“Bathe, bathe!”When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard them saying this, he said:“Wait.”Then he placed his hand over the water and the bowl and said:“Say Bismillah.”Then he said:“Purify yourselves well.”The narrator said: By the One Who afflicted me with the trial of my eyes, I saw the springs of water gushing forth from between his fingers, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not remove his fingers until all of them had completed their ablution.
