There is a similar miracle to the preceding in which water flowed on account of his blessing and increased by his touch and supplication.
Mu'adh, Jabal's son narrates the happenings at Tabuk. He tells us that they came upon a spring of water which was scarcely dripping. They scooped up the drops from the spring with their hands and put it into a container. The Messenger of Allah then washed his face letting the drops of water that fell from him fall back into the container and container of water began to overflow and quenched the thirst of all the people. Thereafter, the Prophet told Mu'adh that if he were to live for a long time he would see what was there watering gardens.
At Hudaybiyah, we are told by Al Bara', there were approximately 14,000 men, and the water well they found was insufficient to provide for even fifty sheep. The Companions crowded around the well until not one single drop remained. Then, the Messenger of Allah came and sat beside it and a pail was brought to him in which he puffed some of his saliva and supplicated. Salama reported that he either supplicated or blew some of his salvia in it thereafter water gushed forth and there was sufficient water for themselves and enough to fill their containers.
Shehab's son tells us, the Prophet drew an arrow from its quiver, and laid it in the bottom of the dried-up water hole, and an excess of water started to flow, so much that the water became sufficient for the needs of animals.
Abu Katada said, "The people accompanied the Messenger of Allah , on a journey and went to him complaining of their thirst. The Prophet asked for the container from which he made ablution to be brought to him and put it under his arm, then covered its opening, but I am unsure whether he blew into it or not, Allah knows best. Thereafter the people drank until they had taken their fill and each filled their water-skin and there were seventy-two men.
The Prophet told Abu Katada, "Keep your ablution container because news of this will spread."
A further example is found in this category of miracles. One day, as Imran, Hussain's son tells us, the Companions faced great thirst. The Prophet told two of his Companions that they would find a woman in a certain location with a camel carrying two water-skins.
The woman was located where the Prophet said she would be found and they brought her to him, who then filled a container with the water from the skins and supplicated, after which he poured the water back into the skins. The skins were opened and he told his Companions to fill their water containers with its water and this they did. Afterwards, Imran commented, "It appeared to me that after that, the skins contained even more water." The Prophet was thankful and told his Companions
