Then he went in, and he came out after that and prayed Maghrib and 'Ishâ' together. Then he said: 'Tomorrow, if Allah wills, you will reach the spring of Tabük. You should not approach it until the forenoon, and whoever among you comes to it should not touch its water until I come.' We came to it, and two men had reached it before us. The spring was a trickle of water, like a shoelace. The Messenger of Allah asked them: 'Did you touch the water at all?' They said: 'Yes.' The Prophet rebuked them, and said to them whatever Allah willed he should say. Then the people scooped water from the spring little by little, until they had gathered a little in a vessel. The Messenger of Allah washed his hands and face in it, then he poured it back into the spring, and it began to flow abundantly. The people drank their fill, then he said: 'Soon, 0 Mu'âdh, if you live a long life, you will see this area filled with gardens." Virtues And Merits of Prophets 138
