Allah’s Apostle came to us at noon and water for ablution was brought to him. After he had per –
formed ablution, the remaining water was taken by the people and they started smearing their bod –
ies with it (as a blessed thing). The Prophet offered two Rakat of the Zuhr prayer and then two Rakat
of the ‘Asr prayer while an ‘Anza (spear-headed stick) was there (as a Sutra) in front of him. Abu
Musa said: The Prophet asked for a tumbler containing water and washed both his hands and face in
it and then threw a mouthful of water in the tumbler and said to both of us (Abu Musa and Bilal),
“Drink from the tumbler and pour some of its water on your faces and chests.”
