It is narrated from Hazrat Bilal Habshi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I went to the presence of the Messenger of Allah to inform him about the prayer (the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, intended to fast). The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, asked for a bowl, drank its water himself, and also gave me to drink. Then he came to the mosque for prayer and led the prayer without performing a fresh ablution.
