بَابُ قُرْبِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ ، وَتَبَرُّكِهِمْ بِهِ وَتوَاضُعِهِ لَهُمْChapter: His Closeness To The People, Their Seeking Blessing From Him And His Humility Towards Them
حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ، وهارون بن عبد الله جميعا ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ يَعْنِي هَاشِمَ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ، جَاءَ خَدَمُ الْمَدِينَةِ بِآنِيَتِهِمْ فِيهَا الْمَاءُ ، فَمَا يُؤْتَى بِإِنَاءٍ إِلَّا غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا ، فَرُبَّمَا جَاءُوهُ فِي الْغَدَاةِ الْبَارِدَةِ ، فَيَغْمِسُ يَدَهُ فِيهَا " .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had completed his dawn prayer, the servants of Madinah came to him with utensils containing water, and no utensil was brought in which he did not dip his hand; and sometime they came in the cold dawn (and he did not feel reluctant in acceding to their request even in the cold weather) and dipped his hand in them.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, it is understood that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) maintained a relationship of affection and love with the people, and even those who were underprivileged would come to his service without hesitation. They would present their water vessels in order to obtain blessings from the touch of his blessed hand, and he, in order to fulfill their wishes and desires, would endure hardship and immerse his hand in their vessels even in the severe cold of winter.
