Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 1, Hadith 138

It was narrated from ‘Awn bin Abi Juhaifah that his father said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) in Al-Batha’. Bilal brought out the water left over from his Wudu’ and the people rushed toward it and I got some of it. Then a short spear was planted in the ground and he led the people in prayer, while donkeys, dogs and women were passing in front of him.”

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْبَطْحَاءِ وَأَخْرَجَ بِلاَلٌ فَضْلَ وَضُوئِهِ فَابْتَدَرَهُ النَّاسُ فَنِلْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَرَكَزْتُ لَهُ الْعَنَزَةَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ وَالْحُمُرُ وَالْكِلاَبُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ يَمُرُّونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ‏.‏
