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 to give the woman some provisions and she filled her robe with them. Then he told her, "You may go, we did not take any of your water, Allah has given us water."
Omar, tells of another occasion as the Companions were on the march to (Tabuk) Usra, they were afflicted by such thirst that one of them was prepared to kill his camel to squeeze its stomach and drink its contents. Abu Bakr went to the Prophet and asked him to supplicate for relief from their thirst, whereupon the Prophet raised his hands, and before he lowered them a rain cloud appeared and poured out its rain, and each of the Companions were able to fill their containers. The rain cloud did not pour
