Prophetic Water Miracles
There are many reports by the Companions relating to numerous occasions when water was witnessed flowing from the fingers of the Prophet .
Anas tells us that it was time for the Asr prayer when he saw of the Messenger of Allah . The people searched for water to make the obligatory ablution but were unable to find any. However, there was a little water available and so it was brought to the Prophet who put his hand in the vessel and water began to flow from his fingertips. The Prophet told his followers to make their ablution with that water, and each and every follower was able to make their ablution from that blessed water. There were more than 70 Companions who made their ablution from that water on that occasion.
'Alqama reported the occasion when they were with the Messenger of Allah and there was no water. The Messenger of Allah 'Find someone who has some extra water.' Some water was brought to him and he poured it into a container then immersed his hand in it and the water began to flow from between the fingers of the Messenger of Allah .
Jabir, Abdullah's son said, "On the day of Hudaybiyah the people were thirsty and the Messenger of Allah had a container of water in front of him and made ablution from it. The people came to him saying, 'We have no water other than that which is in your container.' Thereupon the Prophet put his hand into the container and water began to flow from between his fingers as if it were a spring." Jabir who reported this miraculous event was asked how many people they were, whereupon he replied, "We were one thousand five hundred. Had we been more, then it would have continued to suffice us."
A similar miracle occurred when the Messenger of Allah asked Jabir to bring him some water to make ablution. However, only a dry water skin with a few drops of water could be found, and this was brought to him. The Prophet squeezed it and supplicated, then asked for a bowl to be brought to him. Then, with his fingers spread out in a bowl Jabir sprinkled the drops over them, and as the Prophet said, "In the Name of Allah" water began to flow from his fingers. Then, it began to gush into the bowl until it was full and he ordered his followers to use the water. Everyone made their ablution and he inquired if anyone was still in need of water. Now that their needs had been met the Messenger of Allah withdrew his hand from the bowl and it was still full.
At-Tirmidhi draws our attention to the fact that all these miraculous events took place before many people, and no one can suspect or doubt their occurrence. If it had not been so, rest assured the Companions would have been the
