It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that during his time an earthquake occurred. When he was informed about it, he said: "We, the companions of the Messenger of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), used to look at these signs and miracles as a blessing, while you fear them. We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when the time for prayer arrived and we had a little water with us. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had that small amount of water brought and placed in a vessel, and he placed his blessed hand over it, and water began to gush forth from between his fingers. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Come to the water (in another version: come for ablution), and the blessing is from Allah, the Exalted.' The narrator said: So the people turned towards it and performed ablution, and at that time I was concerned with filling my stomach with that water because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said that this blessing is from Allah. The narrator said: I related this to Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd, and he said: At that time, the number of the noble companions was fifteen hundred."
