Anas b. Malik reported: I saw Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) during the time of the afternoon prayer and the people asking for water for performing ablution which they did not find. (A small quantity) of water was brought to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he placed his hand in that vessel and com- manded people to perform ablution. I raw water spouting from his fingers and the people performing ablution until the last amongst them performed it.

Anas b. Malik reported that Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions were at a place known as az-Zaura' (az-Zaurd' is a place in the bazar of Medina near the mosque) that he called for a vessel containing water. He put his hand in that. And there began to spout (water) between his fingers and all the Companions performed ablution. Qatada, one of the narrators in the chain of narrators, said: Abu Hamza (the kunya of Hadrat Anas b. Malik), how many people were they? He said: They were about three hundred.

Jabir reported that Umm Malik used to send clarified butter in a small skin to the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). Her sons would come to her and ask for seasoning when they had nothing with them (in the form of condiments) and she would go to that (skin) in which she offered (clarified butter) to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), and she would find in that clarified butter and it kept providing her with seasoning for her household until she had (completely) squeezed it. She came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and (informed him about it). Thereupon, he (the Prophet) said: Did you squeeze it? She said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If you had left it in that very state, it would have kept on provid- ing you (the clarified butter) on end.

Jabir reported that a person came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and asked for food. And he gave him half a wasq of barley, and the person and his wife and their guests kept on making use of it (as a food) until he weighed it (in order to find out the actual quantity, and it was no more). He came to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) (and informed him about it). He said: Had you not weighed it, you would be eating out of it and it would have remained intact for you.

Mu'adh b. Jabal reported that he went along with Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) in the expedition of Tabuk and he (the Prophet) combined the prayers. He offered the noon and afternoon prayers together and the sunset and night prayers together and on the other day he deferred the prayers; he then came out and offered the noon and afternoon prayers together. He then went in and (later on) came out and then after that offered the sunset and night prayers together and then said: God willing, you would reach by tomorrow the fountain of Tabuk and you should not come to that until it is dawn, and he who amongst you happens to go there should not touch its water until I come. We came to that and two persons (amongst) us reached that fountain ahead of us. It was a thin flow of water like the shoelace. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) asked them whether they had touched the water. They said: Yes. Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) scolded them, and he said to them what he had to say by the will of God. The people then took water of the fountain in their palms until it became somewhat significant and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) washed his hands and his face too in it, and then, took it again in that (fountain) and there gushed forth abundant water from that fountain, until all the people drank to their fill. He then said: Mu'adh, it is hoped that if you live long you would see its water irrigating well the gardens.

Abu Humaid as-Sa'idi reported: We went out with Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) on the expedition to Tabuk and we came to a wadi where there was a garden belonging to a woman. Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said. Make an assessment (of the price of its fruit). And Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) also made an assessment and it was ten wasqs. He asked that lady (to calculate the amount) until they would, God willing, come back to her. So we proceeded on until we came to Tabuk and Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The violent storm will overtake you during the night, so none amongst you should stand up and he who has a camel with him should hobble it firmly. A violent storm blew and a person who had stood up was carried away by the storm and thrown between the mountains of Tayy. Then the messenger of the son of al 'Alma', the ruler of Aila, came to Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) with a letter and a gift of a white mule. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) wrote him (the reply) and presented him a cloak. We came back until we halted in the Wadi al-Qura. Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) asked that lady about her garden and the price of the fruits in that. She said: Ten wasqs. Thereupon Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I am going to depart, and he who amongst you wishes may depart with me but he who wants to stay may stay. We resumed the journey until we came to the outskirts of Medina. (It was at this time) that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: This is Taba, this is Uhud, that is a mountain which loves us and we love it, and then said: The best amongst the houses of the Ansar is the house of Bani Najjar. Then the house of Bani Abd al-Ashhal, then the house of Bani Abd al-Harith b. Khazraj, then the house of Bani Sa'ida, and there is goodness in all the houses of the Ansar. Said b. Ubada came to us and Abu Usaid said to him: Did you not see that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) has declared the houses of the Ansar good and he has kept us at the end. Said met Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: Allaah's Messenger, you have declared the house of the Ansar as good and have kept us at the end, whereupon he said: Is it not enough for you that you have been counted amongst the good.
