Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 1, Hadith 77

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and they could not find any water. A vessel was brought to him and he put his hand in it, and I saw water springing from between his fingers. He said: ‘Come to a means of purification and a blessing from Allah, may He be glorified.'” (One of the narrators) Al-A’mash said: “Salim bin Abi Al-Ja’d told me: I said to Jabir: “How many were you that day?’ He said: “One thousand five hundred.”

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً فَأُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ وَيَقُولُ ‏
“‏ حَىَّ عَلَى الطَّهُورِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ فَحَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ أَلْفٌ وَخَمْسُمِائَةٍ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 1, Hadith 77

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i is a cornerstone of hadith literature, meticulously compiled by the celebrated Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i in the 9th century. It is irrevocably positioned as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah, that underpin Sunni Islamic law and belief. The work contains a substantial body of over 5,700 narrations that record the sayings, actions, and tacit approvals of the Prophet Muhammad. Al-Nasa’i’s approach was defined by a rigorous and critical methodology that privileged authentic transmissions and deliberately filtered out weaker ones. This unwavering commitment to quality has established the Sunan as a profoundly reliable and authoritative source.
