The Prophet ﷺ splashing water on al-Miswar’s face

ahmad:18908Abū ʿĀmir > Abdullāh b. Jaʿfar > Umm Bakr > al-Miswar

[AI] A Jewish man passed by me while I was standing behind the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ was performing ablution. He said: Raise, or uncover, his garment from his back. He said: So I went with him, lifting it. He said: Then the Prophet ﷺ splashed some water into my face.

أحمد:١٨٩٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أُمِّ بَكْرٍ عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ قَالَ

مَرَّ بِي يَهُودِيٌّ وَأَنَا قَائِمٌ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ ارْفَعْ أَوْ اكْشِفْ ثَوْبَهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ. قَالَ: فَذَهَبْتُ بِهِ أَرْفَعُهُ. قَالَ: فَنَضَحَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي وَجْهِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ.
