Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking till the time of the prayer became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet took it and performed the ablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), Get up to perform the ablution. They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or so persons.

A stone pot containing water was brought to the Prophet, who wanted to put his hand in it, but It was too small for him to spread his hand in it, and so he had to bring his fingers together before putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed the ablution (with that water). I asked Anas, How many persons were they. He replied, There were eighty men.

A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, 'What is wrong with you?' They replied, 'We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.' So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution (from it). I asked Jabir, How many were you? he replied, Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred.

We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction.

She brought out some loaves of barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah's Apostle. I went carrying it and found Allah's Apostle in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah's Apostle asked, Has Abu Talha sent you? I said, Yes . He asked, With some food? I said, Yes Allah's Apostle then said to the men around him, Get up! He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet's visit). Abu Talha said, O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them. She said, Allah and His Apostle know better. So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle came along with Abu Talha. Allah's Apostle said, O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have. She brought the bread which Allah's Apostle ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some butter from an oilskin. Then Allah's Apostle recited what Allah wished him to recite, and then said, Let ten persons come (to share the meal). Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, Let another ten do the same. They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he again said, ' 'Let another ten persons (do the same.) They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he said, Let another ten persons come. In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men.
