Sahih al-Bukhari 3379 (Book 60, Hadith 53) #3231
Taking Water from a Specific Well

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ordering his companions to take water from a specific well and feed the camels with dough.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The people landed at the land of Thamud called Al-Hijr along with Allah's Messenger and they took water from its well for drinking and kneading the dough with it as well. (When Allah's Messenger heard about it) he ordered them to pour out the water they had taken from its wells and feed the camels with the dough, and ordered them to take water from the well whence the she-camel (of Prophet Salih) used to drink.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ نَزَلُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَرْضَ ثَمُودَ الْحِجْرَ، فَاسْتَقَوْا مِنْ بِئْرِهَا، وَاعْتَجَنُوا بِهِ، فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُهَرِيقُوا مَا اسْتَقَوْا مِنْ بِئْرِهَا، وَأَنْ يَعْلِفُوا الإِبِلَ الْعَجِينَ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقُوا مِنَ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي كَانَ تَرِدُهَا النَّاقَةُ‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ أُسَامَةُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about an incident that happened when the Prophet Muhammad and his companions were travelling to the land of Thamud called Al-Hijr. When they arrived there, they took water from its well for drinking and kneading dough with it. However, upon hearing this news, the Prophet ordered them to pour out all of the water they had taken from its wells and feed their camels with the dough instead. He then instructed them to take water only from a specific well where Prophet Salih's she-camel used to drink. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our actions even in small matters such as taking water or feeding animals; we should always follow instructions given by Allah's Messenger as he knows best what is right for us.
