Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39630 — The Hudaybiyah campaign

Sayyiduna Najiyah bin Jundub bin Najiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we (reached) the place al-Ghamim, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) received news of Quraysh that they had dispatched Khalid bin al-Walid with a troop of horsemen who were to meet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked meeting them, for he (peace and blessings be upon him) felt great compassion for them. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who is the man who will turn us away from this road?" (that is, take us by another road). I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, I will take you." He says: So I put them on a difficult road, which had been my route of emigration, with ravines and ups and downs. Then when level ground came, I had him (peace and blessings be upon him) camp at al-Hudaybiyah, and the water of that place had run out. Najiyah says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) dropped one or two arrows from his quiver into its well, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his blessed saliva into it, and then he supplicated. The narrator says: Its springs then returned, until I, or we, said: "If we wished, we could fill our cups (vessels) with water."
