Sunan an-Nasai 78 (Book 1, Hadith 78) #14684
Performing Wudu with Limited Water

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed wudu for a group of his companions using a small amount of water.

It was narrated that Anas said: "Some of the Companions of the Prophet were looking for (water for) Wudu'. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Do any of you have water?' He put his hand in the water and said: 'Perform Wudu' in the Name of Allah'. I saw the water coming out from between his fingers until they had all performed Wudu'". Thabit said: "I said to Anas: 'How many did you see?' He said: 'About seventy'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، وَقَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ طَلَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَضُوءًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَاءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ تَوَضَّئُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثَابِتٌ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ كَمْ تُرَاهُمْ قَالَ نَحْوًا مِنْ سَبْعِينَ

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's generosity and kindness towards his companions. When some of the companions were looking for water to perform wudu, the prophet asked if anyone had any water. He then put his hand in the water and said "Perform wudu in the name of Allah". Despite having limited amounts of water, he was able to provide enough for all seventy people present to perform their ablutions. This hadith teaches us that we should be generous with whatever resources we have, no matter how little they may be. We should also strive to help others whenever possible, even if it means sacrificing our own comfort or convenience.
