It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "I said: O Messenger of Allah! Is performing ablution from a new, covered earthen jar dearer to you, or from the common places of ablution (public water tanks)?"
He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather from the common places of ablution; surely the religion of Allah is the upright, easy way (al-hanifiyyah al-samhah)."
The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would send (someone) to those common places of ablution, then water would be brought from there and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would drink it, hoping (through that water) for the blessing of the hands of the Muslims.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Hassan bin Ibrahim narrated this hadith from Abd al-Aziz bin Abi Rawwad."
