dismounted and led us in the morning prayer. A man amongst the people failed to join us in the
prayer. When the Prophet had finished the prayer, he asked (the man), “O so-and-so! What preven –
ted you from offering the prayer with us?” He replied, “I am Junub,” Alllah’s Apostle ordered him to
perform Tayammam with clean earth. The man then offered the prayer. Allah’s Apostle ordered me
and a few others to go ahead of him. We had become very thirsty. While we were on our way (look –
ing for water), we came across a lady (riding an animal), hanging her legs between two water-skins.
We asked her, “Where can we get water?” She replied, “Oh ! There is no water.” We asked, “how far is
your house from the water?” She replied, “A distance of a day and a night travel.” We said, “Come on
to Allah’s Apostle, “She asked, “What is Allah’s Apostle ?” So we brought her to Allah’s Apostle against
her will, and she told him what she had told us before and added that she was the mother of
orphans. So the Prophet ordered that her two water-skins be brought and he rubbed the mouths of
the water-skins. As we were thirsty, we drank till we quenched our thirst and we were forty men.
We also filled all our waterskins and other utensils with water, but we did not water the camels. The
waterskin was so full that it was almost about to burst. The Prophet then said, “Bring what (foodstuff)
you have.” So some dates and pieces of bread were collected for the lady, and when she went to her
people, she said, “I have met either the greatest magician or a prophet as the people claim.” So Allah
guided the people of that village through that lady. She embraced Islam and they all embraced Islam.

Yemen ! Accept the good tidings, as Bani Tamim has refused them.” The Yemenites said, “We accept
them. Then the Prophet started taking about the beginning of creation and about Allah’s Throne. In
the mean time a man came saying, “O ‘Imran! Your she-camel has run away!” (I got up and went
away), but l wish I had not left that place (for I missed what Allah’s Apostle had said).
