[Machine] On the Day of Hudaybiyah, the people were thirsty and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a water container in front of him from which he would perform ablution. When the people rushed towards him, he asked, "What is your matter?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we have no water to drink or to perform ablution with except what is before you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand in the container, and water began to overflow from between his fingers like springs. We drank from it and performed ablution. I asked, "How many were you?" He said, "If we were one hundred thousand, it would have been sufficient for us. We were fifteen hundred."

عَطِشَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ رَكْوَةٌ يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهَا إِذْ جَهَشَ النَّاسُ نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ مَا شَأْنُكُمْ؟ قَالَوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَنَا مَاءٌ نَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ وَلَا مَاءٌ نَتَوَضَّأُ بِهِ إِلَّا مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ فِي الرَّكْوَةِ فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَفُورُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ كَأَمْثَالِ الْعُيُونِ فَشَرِبْنَا وَتَوَضَّأْنَا فَقُلْتُ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ لَوْ كُنَّا مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ كَفَانَا كُنَّا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مِائَةً

Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said, "The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet ﷺ and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, 'What is wrong with you?' They replied, 'We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.' So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and performed ablution (from it)." I asked Jabir, "How many were you?" he replied, "Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred."

Jabir said "On the day of Al-Hudaibiya, the people felt thirsty and Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a utensil containing water. He performer ablution from it and then the people came towards him. Allah's Apostle said, 'What is wrong with you?' The people said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We haven't got any water to perform ablution with or to drink, except what you have in your utensil.' So the Prophet ﷺ put his hand in the utensil and the water started spouting out between his fingers like springs. So we drank and performed ablution." I said to Jabir, "What was your number on that day?" He replied, "Even if we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have been sufficient for us. Anyhow, we were 1500.'
