ahmad:12948Rawḥ b. ʿUbādah > Ḥajjāj b. Ḥassān

[Machine] We were with Anas ibn Malik when he brought a vessel containing three iron rings and a ring made of iron. He removed a black covering from it, which was less than a quarter and more than half. Anas ibn Malik then ordered for water to be poured into it, and it was brought to us. We drank from it and poured it over our heads and faces, and we prayed upon the Prophet ﷺ .  

أحمد:١٢٩٤٨حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ وَفِيهِ ثَلَاثُ ضِبَابٍ حَدِيدٍ وَحَلْقَةٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَأُخْرِجَ مِنْ غِلَافٍ أَسْوَدَ وَهُوَ دُونَ الرُّبُعِ وَفَوْقَ نِصْفِ الرُّبُعِ فَأَمَرَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَجُعِلَ لَنَا فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَأُتِينَا بِهِ فَشَرِبْنَا وَصَبَبْنَا عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا وَوُجُوهِنَا وَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
