Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when the time for prayer had come and people searched for water for ablution but could not find any. Then water for ablution was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a vessel. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his hand in that vessel and ordered the people: "Perform ablution with this." Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw water gushing forth from between the fingers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) until all the people had performed ablution.
