ON THE SUBJECT OF 116 WATER CONTAINERS; THE MIRACLE OF THE WATER H 781 "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, was in Zaura when the time for prayer approached. Those whose houses were nearby went to make ablution and the rest remained with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. A stone jug was brought for him in which there was some water. The amount was only enough for him to pour over his hand. He made his ablution and the water sufficed all of the others as well. Anas was asked, 'How many of you were there?' He replied, 'Eighty or more.'" We are also informed: "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, asked for a container of water. He was brought a wide shallow dish in which there was only a little water. He put his fingers in it. Anas said, 'I kept looking at the water pouring from between his fingers. I estimate the number of those who performed their ablution with it as being between seventy and eighty.'" R 781 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Anas who related this.
باب جواز الشرب من جميع الأواني الطاهرة غير الذهب والفضة وجواز الكرع - وَهُوَ الشرب بالفم من النهر وغيره بغير إناء ولا يد - وتحريم استعمال إناء الذهب والفضة في الشرب والأكل والطهارة وسائر وجوه الاستعمال 773- وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فقامَ مَن كَانَ قَريبَ الدَّارِ إِلَى أهْلِهِ ، وبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ ، فأُتِيَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم بِمَخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ ، فَصَغُرَ المخْضَبُ أنْ يَبْسُطَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ القَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ . قالوا : كَمْ كُنْتُمْ ؟ قَالَ : ثَمَانِينَ وزيادة . متفق عَلَيْهِ ، هذه رواية البخاري . وفي رواية لَهُ ولمسلم : أنَّ النَّبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم دَعَا بإناءٍ مِنْ ماءٍ ، فَأُتِيَ بقَدَحٍ رَحْرَاحٍ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ ماءٍ ، فَوَضَعَ أصابعَهُ فِيهِ . قَالَ أنسٌ : فَجَعلْتُ أنْظُرُ إِلَى الماءِ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ بَيْن أصَابِعِهِ ، فَحَزَرْتُ مَنْ تَوضَّأ مَا بَيْنَ السَّبْعِينَ إِلَى الثَّمَانينَ .
