bukhari:195ʿAbdullāh b. Munīr > ʿAbdullāh b. Bakr > Ḥumayd > Anas

It was the time for prayer, and those whose houses were near got up and went to their people (to perform ablution), and there remained some people (sitting). Then a painted stove pot (Mikhdab) containing water was brought to Messenger of Allah ﷺs The pot was small, not broad enough for one to spread one's hand in; yet all the people performed ablution. (The sub narrator said, "We asked Anas, 'How many persons were you?' Anas replied 'We were eighty or more"). (It was one of the miracles of Messenger of Allah ﷺ).  

البخاري:١٩٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بَكْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ قَرِيبَ الدَّارِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَصَغُرَ الْمِخْضَبُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ قُلْنَا كَمْ كُنْتُمْ قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ وَزِيَادَةً

bukhari:3575ʿAbdullāh b. Munīr > Yazīd > Ḥumayd > Anas

Anas bin Malik said, "Once the time of the prayer became due and the people whose houses were close to the Mosque went to their houses to perform ablution, while the others remained (sitting there). A stone pot containing water was brought to the Prophet, who wanted to put his hand in it, but It was too small for him to spread his hand in it, and so he had to bring his fingers together before putting his hand in the pot. Then all the people performed the ablution (with that water)." I asked Anas, "How many persons were they." He replied, "There were eighty men."

ahmad:12032Ibn Abū ʿAdī > Ḥumayd And Yazīd > Ḥumayd al-Maʿná > Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] "Prayer was announced, so everyone living near the mosque stood up, while those whose families were far away remained in their homes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was then brought a container full of small stones, too small to spread his palm on it. He closed his fingers and performed ablution with the rest of the water. Humaid was asked about the number of people present, and Anas replied, 'Eighty or more.'"

[Machine] "The prayer began, and those who were close to their homes stood up and went to their families to perform ablution. Some people remained, and the Prophet ﷺ was brought a small container with water in it. The container was too small to be filled with his palm, so he cupped his fingers and placed them in the container. Then, all the people, a total of eighty men, performed ablution."
