حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْأَشْقَرُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُدَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْسَ فِي الْعَسْكَرِ مَاءٌ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ فِي الْعَسْكَرِ مَاءٌ قَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكَ شَيْءٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأْتِنِي بِهِ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَلِيلٍ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي فَمِ الْإِنَاءِ وَفَتَحَ أَصَابِعَهُ قَالَ فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ عُيُونٌ وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَقَالَ نَادِ فِي النَّاسِ الْوَضُوءَ الْمُبَارَكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2268
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) woke up one day and there was no water in the camp. A man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, there is no water in the camp. He said: "Do you have anything?" He said: Yes. He said: "Bring it to me." So he brought him a bottle in hich there was a little water. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) put his fingers over the mouth of the vessel, and opened his fingers, and springs of water gushed from between his fingers. He instructed Bilal: "Call out to the people: Come and do wudoo’ with this blessed water."
