The Prophet (ﷺ) went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on walking tillthe time of the prayer became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of themwent away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet (ﷺ) took it and performed theablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), "Get up to performthe ablution." They started performing the ablution till all of them did it, and they were seventy or sopersons.
