Narrated Abu Huraira:
I enjoyed the company of Allah’s Apostle for three years, and during the other years of my life,
never was I so anxious to understand the (Prophet’s) traditions as I was during those three years. I
heard him saying, beckoning with his hand in this way, “Before the Hour you will fight with people
who will have hairy shoes and live in Al-Bariz.” (Sufyan, the sub-narrator once said, “And they are
the people of Al-Bazir.”)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 56: VIRTUES AND MERITS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) AND HIS COMPANIONS
The Prophet went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking
till the time of the prayer became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of
them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet took it and performed
the ablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), “Get up to per –
form the ablution.” They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy
or so persons.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 775:
Narrated Humaid:
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 be –
fore 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.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 776:
Narrated Salim bin Abi Aj-Jad:
Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said, “The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A
small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet and when he had finished the ablution,
the people rushed towards him. He asked, ‘What is wrong with you?’ They replied, ‘We have no wa –
ter either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.’ So he
placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all
drank and performed ablution (from it).” I asked Jabir, “How many were you?” he replied, “Even if we
had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hun –
dred.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777:
Narrated Al-Bara:
We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty), and (at)
Al-Hudaibiya (there) was a well. We drew out its water not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet
sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water with which he rinsed his mouth and then he
threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while and then drew water from the well and
quenched our thirst, and even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction.

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 778:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Abu Talha said to Um Sulaim, “I have noticed feebleness in the voice of Allah’s Apostle which I
think, is caused by hunger. Have you got any food?” She said, “Yes.” She brought out some loaves of
barley and took out a veil belonging to her, and wrapped the bread in part of it and put it under my
arm and wrapped part of the veil round me and sent me to Allah’s Apostle. I went carrying it and
found Allah’s Apostle in the Mosque sitting with some people. When I stood there, Allah’s Apostle
asked, “Has Abu Talha sent you?” I said, “Yes”. He asked, “With some food? I said, “Yes” Allah’s Apostle
then said to the men around him, “Get up!” He set out (accompanied by them) and I went ahead of
them till I reached Abu Talha and told him (of the Prophet’s visit). Abu Talha said, “O Um Sulaim! Al –
lah’s Apostle is coming with the people and we have no food to feed them.” She said, “Allah and His
Apostle know better.” So Abu Talha went out to receive Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle came along
with Abu Talha. Allah’s Apostle said, “O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have.” She brought the
bread which Allah’s Apostle ordered to be broken into pieces. Um Sulaim poured on them some but –
ter from an oilskin. Then Allah’s Apostle recited what Allah wished him to recite, and then said, “Let
ten persons come (to share the meal).” Ten persons were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then
he again said, “Let another ten do the same.” They were admitted, ate their fill and went out. Then he
again said, ‘”‘Let another ten persons (do the same.)” They were admitted, ate their fill and went out.
Then he said, “Let another ten persons come.” In short, all of them ate their fill, and they were seventy
or eighty men.
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 779:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
We used to consider miracles as Allah’s Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning.
Once we were with Allah’s Apostle on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, “Bring the water
remaining with you.” The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it
and said, “Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah.” I saw the water flowing from
among the fingers of Allah’s Apostle , and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was
being eaten (by him).
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 780:
Narrated Jabir:
My father had died in debt. So I came to the Prophet and said, “My father (died) leaving unpaid
debts, and I have nothing except the yield of his date palms; and their yield for many years will not
cover his debts. So please come with me, so that the creditors may not misbehave with me.” The
Prophet went round one of the heaps of dates and invoked (Allah), and then did the same with an –

other heap and sat on it and said, “Measure (for them).” He paid them their rights and what remained
was as much as had been paid to them.
