Sahih al-Bukhari 5859 (Book 77, Hadith 76) #5620
Receiving Blessings from the Prophet's Ablution

SUMMARY: People were taking the remaining water of the Prophet's ablution and rubbing it on their faces to receive blessings.

Narrated Abu Juhaifa: I came to the Prophet while he was inside a red leather tent, and I saw Bilal taking the remaining water of the ablution of the Prophet, and the people were taking of that water and rubbing it on their faces; and whoever could not get anything of it, would share the moisture of the hand of his companion (and then rub it on his face).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ وَهْوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، وَرَأَيْتُ بِلاَلاً أَخَذَ وَضُوءَ النَّبِيِّ وَالنَّاسُ يَبْتَدِرُونَ الْوَضُوءَ، فَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا تَمَسَّحَ بِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَخَذَ مِنْ بَلَلِ يَدِ صَاحِبِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how people would take the remaining water of the Prophet's ablution and rub it on their faces in order to receive blessings. The people who could not get any of this water would share the moisture of their companion's hand and then rub it on their face. This shows us that even though we may not be able to physically be near our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, we can still benefit from his blessings by following his teachings and emulating his actions. We should also strive to share these blessings with others by helping them in whatever way we can.
