أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوئَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَضُوئٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي ذَلِکَ الْإِنَائِ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَائَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّی تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 77
It was narrated that Anas said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when the time for ‘Asr prayer had come. The people looked for (water for) Wudubut they could not find any. Then some (water for) Wudu’ was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. He put his hand in that vessel and told the people to perform Wudu , and I saw water springing from beneath his fingers, until they had all performed Wudu." (Sahih)
