'Imran bin Husain reported: I was with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in a journey. We traveled the whole of the night, and when it was about to dawn, we got down for rest, and were overpowered (by sleep) till the sun shone. Abu Bakr (RA) was the first to awake amongst us and we did not awake the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) from his sleep allowing him to wake up (of his own accord). It was 'Umar who then woke up. He stood by the side of the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and recited takbir in a loud voice till the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) woke up. When he lifted his head, he saw that the sun had arisen; he then said: Proceed on. He traveled along with us till the sun shone brightly. He came down (from his camel) and led us in the morning prayer. A person, however, remained away from the people and did not say, prayer along with us. After having completed the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him: O, so and so, what prevented you from observing prayer with us? He said: Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )! I was not in a state of purity. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ordered him arid lie performed Tayammum with dust and said prayer. He then urged me to go ahead immediately along with other riders to find out water, for we felt very thirsty. We were traveling when we came across a woman who was sitting (on a camel) with her feet hanging over two leathern water bags. We said to her: How far is water available? She, said: Far, very far, very far. You cannot get water. We (again) said: How much distance is there between (the residence of) your family and water? She said: It is a day and night journey. We said to her: You go to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . She said: Who is the Messenger of Allah? ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) We somehow or the other managed to bring her to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he asked about her, and she informed him as she had informed us that she was a widow having orphan children. He ordered that her camel should be made to kneel down and he gargled in the opening (of her leathern water-bag). The camel was then raised up and we forty thirsty men drank water till we were completely satiated, and we filled up all leathern water-bags and water-skins that we had with us and we washed our companions, but we did not make any camel drink, and (the leathern water-bags) were about to burst (on account of excess of water). He then said: Bring whatever you have with you. So we collected the bits (of eatable things) and dates and packed them up in a bundle, and said to her: Take it away. This is meant for your children, and know that we have not in any way done any loss to your water. When she came to her family she said: I have met the greatest magician amongst human beings, or he is an apostle, as he claims to be, and she then narrated what had happened and Allah guided aright those people through that woman. She affirmed her faith in Islam and so did the people embrace Islam.

'Imran bin Husain reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in a journey and we traveled throughout the night till at the end, just before dawn, we lay down (for rest), and nothing is sweeter for a traveler than this and none awakened us but the heat of the sun, and the rest of the hadith is the same (as mentioned above) except this addition: "When 'Umar bin Khattab woke up, he saw what had happened to the people. And he was a man having a big belly and strongly built; he recited takbir in a loud voice till the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) woke up by the loudness of his voice in takbir. When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got up, the people told him what had happened. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: There is no harm; you better proceed further," and (the rest of the hadith) was narrated.
