Bismi'llaahi 'r-rahmaani 'r-rahiim
Assalaatu was'salaamu alaika Yaa Rasoollullaah! Yaa Habeeb'Allaah!
Hadrath Jabir bin Abdullaah {radiy'Allaahu ta'aalaa anhu} reported that I was with The Holy Prophet {sall'Allaahu ta'aalaa alaihi wa'sallam} and the time for the Asar prayer became due. We had no water with us except a little which was put in a vessel and was brought to the The Holy Prophet {sall'Allaahu ta'aalaa alaihi wa'sallam}. He {sall'Allaahu ta'aalaa alaihi wa'sallam} put His hand into it and spread out his fingers and then said, "Come along! Hurry up! All those who want to perform ablution. The blessing is from Allaah." I saw the water gushing out from his fingers. So the people performed the ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water {beyond my thirst and capacity}, for I knew that it was a blessing. The sub-narrator said: I asked Hadrath Jabir {radiy'Allaahu ta'aalaa anhu}, "How many persons were you then?" He replied, "We were one-thousand four hundred men." Hadrath Salim {radiy'Allaahu ta'aalaa anhu} said: Hadrath Jabir {radiy'Allaahu ta'aalaa anhu} said, one-thousand five hundred men. {Bukharii Shariif – Volume 7, Book 69, Number 543}
