Hadith Commentary:
Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has narrated this hadith in detail at another place. Hazrat Jabir radi Allahu anhu reports that the people were afflicted with severe thirst, so the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam placed his hand in a water skin. Water began to flow from his fingers like springs. All the noble Companions radi Allahu anhum ajma'in drank from it and also performed ablution (wudu) with it. Someone asked Hazrat Jabir radi Allahu anhu: "How many people were you that day?" He replied: "If we had been a hundred thousand, even then that water would have sufficed us." (Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Manaqib, Hadith: 3576)
