Hadith 3013 Part A

setting

Jabir said : We came back to the (camp of the) army and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said : Jabir , call people for per- forming wudu. I cried : Come and perform wudu , come and perform wudu , come and perform wudu. I said : Allah's Messenger , there is not even a drop of water in the army camp , and there. was a person who used to cool the water for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the old water-skin which kept hanging by the twig. He asked me to go to such and such Ansari and ask him to see if there was any water in that skin. I went to him and cast a glance in it but did not find anything but a drop in the mouth of that water-skin and if I were to draw that , the water-skin's , . dried part would suck it up. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said : Allah's Messenger , I have not found anything in it but a drop of water in the mouth of the water-skin and now if I were to draw that , it would be absorbed. He said : Go and bring that to me. I brought that to him. He took hold of it -and began to utter something which I could not understand and then pressed it with his hand and gave that to me and said : Jabir , announce for the tub to be brought. So I announced that the tub of the army (be brought). It was brought accordingly and I placed it before him (the Holy Prophet). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) placed his hands in the tub like this : with his fingers stretched out , and then he placed his fingers at the bottom of the tub and said : Jabir , take it (that waters-skin) and pour water over me , by reciting Bismillah , and I poured water and I said : Bismillah , and found water sprouting out between the fingers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then that tub gushed forth until it was filled up and the Messenger (ﷺ) said : Jabir , make an announcement to the effect : He who needs water should take that. Jabir said : The people came and got water until they were all satiated. I said : Is there anyone left who wants to get it ? And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then lifted up his hand from that tub and it was still full.
