Sahih al-Bukhari 195 (Book 4, Hadith 61) #195
The Miracle of Ablution

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in which a small pot of water was enough for more than 80 people to perform ablution.

Narrated Anas: It was the time for prayer, and those whose houses were near got up and went to their people (to perform ablution), and there remained some people (sitting). Then a painted stove pot (Mikhdab) containing water was brought to Allah's Messenger s The pot was small, not broad enough for one to spread one's hand in; yet all the people performed ablution. (The sub narrator said, "We asked Anas, 'How many persons were you?' Anas replied 'We were eighty or more"). (It was one of the miracles of Allah's Messenger ).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ بَكْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ قَرِيبَ الدَّارِ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَصَغُرَ الْمِخْضَبُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ، فَتَوَضَّأَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ‏.‏ قُلْنَا كَمْ كُنْتُمْ قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ وَزِيَادَةً‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an amazing miracle that occurred during the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was time for prayer and many people were present but there was not enough water to perform ablution. However, Allah's Messenger ﷺ brought out a small pot containing water and it miraculously became sufficient for all those present to perform their ablutions. There were more than eighty people present at that time and yet the amount of water did not decrease even after everyone performed their ablutions. This miraculous event serves as a reminder that Allah is capable of anything and He can make something seemingly impossible possible with His power. It also teaches us to have faith in Him no matter how difficult our situation may be because He will always provide us with solutions if we trust Him completely.
