٤۔٣٢ باب الْتِمَاسِ الْوَضُوءِ إِذَا حَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ

[Machine] Aisha said, "Morning came and water was sought, but it could not be found, so ritual purification with sand was performed."

وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ حَضَرَتِ الصُّبْحُ فَالْتُمِسَ الْمَاءُ، فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ، فَنَزَلَ التَّيَمُّمُ.

bukhari:169ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas b. Mālik

saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ when the ʿAsr prayer was due and the people searched for water to perform ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of) water for ablution was brought to Allah's Apostle . He put his hand in that pot and ordered the people to perform ablution from it. I saw the water springing out from underneath his fingers till all of them performed the ablution (it was one of the miracles of the Prophet).  

البخاري:١٦٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَحَانَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوءَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِوَضُوءٍ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ الإِنَاءِ يَدَهُ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهُ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ
