Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna al-Ala bin al-Hadrami (may Allah be pleased with him) to Bahrain, I went with him, and I saw three things from him, and I do not know which of them is more astonishing. We reached the seashore, and he said: 'Mention the name of Allah and plunge in (into the sea).' So we mentioned the name of Allah and plunged in, and we crossed the sea, and the water wet nothing except the bottoms of our camels' hooves. Then, when we were returning, we came with him to a barren, waterless plain and we had no water with us. We complained to him, so he prayed two rak'ahs and then supplicated, and suddenly a cloud like a shield appeared; then it opened its spouts (and rained heavily), and we drank ourselves, gave (the animals) to drink, and filled our vessels. Then he died, and we buried him in the sand. When we had gone only a short distance, we said: 'A wild beast will come and eat him.' So we went back, but we did not find him (in the grave)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu Ka'b except Ibrahim, the companion of al-Harawi, and no one narrated it from al-Jurayri except Abu Ka'b. And the name of Abu al-Salil is Durayb bin Nuqayr."
