Sunan Abi Dawud 3724 (Book 27, Hadith 56) #24014
Seeking Water from an Ansari Man

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) visited a man of the Ansar and asked for water that had been left overnight in a skin or from a streamlet.

Jabir b. 'abd Allah said: The Prophet went to visit a man of the Ansar accompanied by one of his Companions who was watering his garden. The Messenger of Allah said: If you have any water which has remained over night in a skin (we should like it), or shall sip (from a streamlet).
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَهُوَ يُحَوِّلُ الْمَاءَ فِي حَائِطِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ مَاءٌ بَاتَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي شَنٍّ وَإِلاَّ كَرَعْنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ بَلْ عِنْدِي مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ
