Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla transmits the statement of his father: We took part in a military expedition with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we were struck by severe thirst. We complained of this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there any leftover water in a vessel?" A man brought him some leftover water in a vessel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dug a hole in the ground and placed a mat (or a piece of leather) over it, then he placed his palm on the ground and said to the man with the vessel: "Taking the name of Allah, pour the water over my palm!" He did so. Sayyiduna Abu Layla (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw water gush forth from between the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until all the people had their fill, and they also watered their riding camels. Its chain contains Khalid bin Nafi' al-Ash'ari, whom Imam Abu Zur'ah, Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i declared da'if (weak); Abu Hatim says: He is not strong; his hadith may be written down. Imam Ahmad narrated from him, and it is well known that all of Imam Ahmad's teachers are thiqat (trustworthy) in his view. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Before this, the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Ziyad bin al-Harith al-Suda'i (may Allah be pleased with him) and the hadith narrated by Sayyiduna Hibban bin Buhh al-Suda'i (may Allah be pleased with him) have already passed in the chapter on the dislike of holding authority.
