Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet so he asked Abu Usaid As-Sa’idi to send for her, and
he sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa’ida. The Prophet came out and went
to her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet
spoke to her, she said, “I seek refuge with Allah from you.” He said, “I grant you refuge from me.”
They said to her, “Do you know who this is?” She said, “No.” They said, “This is Allah’s Apostle who has
come to command your hand in marriage.” She said, “I am very unlucky to lose this chance.” Then
the Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa’ida and sat there. Then he said,
“Give us water, O Sahl!” So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator

Narrated ‘Asim al-Ahwal:
I saw the drinking bowl of the Prophet with Anas bin Malik, and it had been broken, and he had
mended it with silver plates. That drinking bowl was quite wide and made of Nadar wood, Anas said,
“I gave water to the Prophet in that bowl more than so-and-so (for a long period).” Ibn Sirin said:
Around that bowl there was an iron ring, and Anas wanted to replace it with a silver or gold ring,
but Abu Talha said to him, “Do not change a thing that Allah’s Apostle has made.” So Anas left it as it
was.

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When night falls (or when it is evening), stop your children from going out,
for the devils spread out at that time. But when an hour of the night has passed, release them and
close the doors and mention Allah’s Name, for Satan does not open a closed door. Tie the mouth of
your water-skin and mention Allah’s Name; cover your containers and utensils and mention Allah’s
Name. Cover them even by placing something across it, and extinguish your lamps. “

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
I was with the Prophet and the time for the ‘Asr prayer became due. We had no water with us ex –
cept a little which was put in a vessel and was brought to the Prophet . He put his hand into it and
spread out his fingers and then said, “Come along! Hurry up! All those who want to perform ablu –
tion. The blessing is from Allah.” I saw the water gushing out from his fingers. So the people per –
formed the ablution and drank, and I tried to drink more of that water (beyond my thirst and capa –
city), for I knew that it was a blessing. The sub-narrator said: I asked Jabir, “How many persons were
you then?” He replied, “We were one-thousand four hundred men.” Salim said: Jabir said, 1500.
