[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we approached the waters of Al-Arab in the evening. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who among you will go ahead of us and reach the pond, drink from it, and then serve us water?" Jabir said, "I stood up and said, 'This man, O Messenger of Allah!' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Which man is it with Jabir?' Then Jabbar ibn Sakhr stood up and we went to the well. We drew water from the pond, filling it with a cup or two, and then we passed it around until we were full. The first one who came upon us was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he asked, 'Did you seek permission?' We said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' He started watering his camel and it drank, then he tied it there, and then drank from the pond himself. I got up and made ablution from the Prophet's ﷺ ablution water. Jabbar ibn Sakhr went to answer the call of nature, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to pray. I had a linen garment that I was wearing, and it was hanging between my sides. It did not reach me properly, and it was flapping. I fixed it and tucked it between my sides. Then I came until I stood on the left side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He took my hand and turned me around until I was on his right side. Jabbar ibn Sakhr came and made ablution, then he came and stood on the left side of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He took all of us by the hands and moved us back until we were behind him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at me intensely and I did not realize. Then I became aware and he said, 'Jabir!' I said, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah!' He said, 'If your garment is wide, keep it hanging between your sides, and if it is tight, tighten it on your hips.'"
