قَالَ : فَأَتَيْنَا الْعَسْكَرَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا جَابِرُ نَادِ بِوَضُوءٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَلَا وَضُوءَ أَلَا وَضُوءَ أَلَا وَضُوءَ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا وَجَدْتُ فِي الرَّكْبِ مِنْ قَطْرَةٍ ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُبَرِّدُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَاءَ فِي أَشْجَابٍ لَهُ عَلَى حِمَارَةٍ مِنْ جَرِيدٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ لِيَ : انْطَلِقْ إِلَى فُلَانِ ابْنِ فُلَانٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، فَانْظُرْ هَلْ فِي أَشْجَابِهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَنَظَرْتُ فِيهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلَاءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ لَشَرِبَهُ يَابِسُهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَطْرَةً فِي عَزْلَاءِ شَجْبٍ مِنْهَا لَوْ أَنِّي أُفْرِغُهُ لَشَرِبَهُ يَابِسُهُ ، قَالَ : اذْهَبْ ، فَأْتِنِي بِهِ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهِ ، فَأَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِشَيْءٍ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ وَيَغْمِزُهُ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَعْطَانِيهِ ، فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ : نَادِ بِجَفْنَةٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا جَفْنَةَ الرَّكْبِ ، فَأُتِيتُ بِهَا تُحْمَلُ ، فَوَضَعْتُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ فِي الْجَفْنَةِ هَكَذَا ، فَبَسَطَهَا وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَهَا فِي قَعْرِ الْجَفْنَةِ ، وَقَالَ : خُذْ يَا جَابِرُ فَصُبَّ عَلَيَّ ، وَقُلْ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فَصَبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ ، وَقُلْتُ : بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ ، فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَفُورُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ فَارَتِ الْجَفْنَةُ وَدَارَتْ حَتَّى امْتَلَأَتْ ، فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ : نَادِ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ بِمَاءٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى النَّاسُ ، فَاسْتَقَوْا حَتَّى رَوُوا ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : هَلْ بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ ؟ ، فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَفْنَةِ وَهِيَ مَلْأَى ،
Jabir said: We came back to the (camp of the) army and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Jabir, call people for performing wudu. I cried: Come and perform wudu, come and perform wudu, come and perform wudu. I said: Allah's Messenger, there is not even a drop of water in the army camp, and there was a person who used to cool the water for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the old water-skin which kept hanging by the twig. He asked me to go to such and such Ansari and ask him to see if there was any water in that skin. I went to him and cast a glance in it but did not find anything but a drop in the mouth of that water-skin and if I were to draw that, the water-skin's dried part would suck it up. I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have not found anything in it but a drop of water in the mouth of the water-skin and now if I were to draw that, it would be absorbed. He said: Go and bring that to me. I brought that to him. He took hold of it and began to utter something which I could not understand and then pressed it with his hand and gave that to me and said: Jabir, announce for the tub to be brought. So I announced that the tub of the army (be brought). It was brought accordingly and I placed it before him (the Holy Prophet). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) placed his hands in the tub like this: with his fingers stretched out, and then he placed his fingers at the bottom of the tub and said: Jabir, take it (that waters-skin) and pour water over me, by reciting Bismillah, and I poured water and I said: Bismillah, and found water sprouting out between the fingers of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Then that tub gushed forth until it was filled up and the Messenger (ﷺ) said: Jabir, make an announcement to the effect: He who needs water should take that. Jabir said: The people came and got water until they were all satiated. I said: Is there anyone left who wants to get it? And Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then lifted up his hand from that tub and it was still full.
