قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَسَمِعَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِخَسْفٍ قَالَ كُنَّا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعُدُّ الْآيَاتِ بَرَكَةً وَأَنْتُمْ تَعُدُّونَهَا تَخْوِيفًا إِنَّا بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مَاءٌ فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اطْلُبُوا مَنْ مَعَهُ يَعْنِي مَاءً فَفَعَلْنَا فَأُتِيَ بِمَاءٍ فَصَبَّهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَيَّ عَلَى الطَّهُورِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالْبَرَكَةُ مِنْ اللَّهِ فَمَلَأْتُ بَطْنِي مِنْهُ وَاسْتَسْقَى النَّاسُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَدْ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ تَسْبِيحَ الطَّعَامِ وَهُوَ يُؤْكَلُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4393
It was narrated from 'Alqamah that 'Abdullah said, when he heard of a landslide: We, the companions of Muhammad used to regard extraordinary happenings as a blessing, but you regard them as frightening. Whilst we were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) we had no water. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to us; "Look for someone who has some with him," meaning water. Some water was brought and he poured it into a vessel, then he put his hands in it and water started flowing from between his fingers. Then he said: "Come to a blessed means of purification and barakah (blessing) from Allah." I filled my stomach with it and the people drank 'Abdullah said: We used to hear the tasbeeh of the food as it was being eaten.
