3571. Narrated 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain رضي الله عنهما that they were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. They travelled the whole night, and when dawn approached, they took rest and sleep overwhelmed them till the sun rose high in the sky. The first to get up was Abū Bakr. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used not to be awakened from his sleep, but he would wake up by himself. 'Umar woke up and then Abū Bakr sat by the side of the Prophet's head and started saying: "Allāhu Akbar" raising his voice till the Prophet ﷺ woke up, (and after travelling for a while) he dismounted and led us in the morning Ṣalāt (prayer). A man amongst the people failed to join us in the Ṣalāt (prayer). When the Prophet ﷺ had finished the Ṣalāt (prayer), he asked (the man), "O so-and-so! What prevented you from offering the Ṣalāt (prayer) with us?" He replied, "I am Junub." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered him to perform Tayammum with clean earth. The man then offered the Ṣalāt (prayer). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered me and a few others to go ahead of him. We had become very thirsty. While we were on our way (looking for water), we came across a lady (riding an animal), hanging her legs between two water-skins. We asked her, "Where can we get water?" She replied, "Oh! There is no water." We asked, "How far is your house from the water?" She replied, "A distance of a day and a night travel." We said, "Come on to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." She asked, "What is Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" So we brought her to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ against her will, and she told him what she had told us before and added that she was the mother of orphans. So, the Prophet ﷺ ordered that her two water-skins be brought and he touched or rubbed the mouths of the water-skins (with his hand). As we were thirsty, we drank till we quenched our thirst and we were forty men. We also filled all our water-skins and other utensils with water, but we did not water the camels. The water-skin was so full that it was almost about to burst. The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Bring what (foodstuff) you have." So, some dates and pieces of bread were collected for the lady, and when she went to her people, she said, "I have met either the greatest magician or a Prophet as the people claim." So, Allāh guided the people of that village through that lady. She embraced Islām and they all embraced Islām. [See Vol. 1, Hadīth No. 344]

3571 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ زَرِيرٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُصَيْنٍ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسِيرٍ، فَأَدْلَجُوا لَيْلَتَهُمْ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ وَجْهُ الصُّبْحِ عَرَّسُوا، فَغَلَبَتْهُمْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَكَانَ لاَ يُوقَظُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ عُمَرُ، فَقَعَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ، فَجَعَلَ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَزَلَ وَصَلَّى بِنَا الغَدَاةَ، فَاعْتَزَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ القَوْمِ لَمْ يُصَلِّ مَعَنَا، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: «يَا فُلاَنُ، مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَنَا» قَالَ: أَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ، فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ بِالصَّعِيدِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى، وَجَعَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكُوبٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَقَدْ عَطِشْنَا عَطَشًا شَدِيدًا فَبَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ، إِذَا نَحْنُ بِامْرَأَةٍ سَادِلَةٍ رِجْلَيْهَا بَيْنَ مَزَادَتَيْنِ، فَقُلْنَا لَهَا: أَيْنَ المَاءُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ لاَ مَاءَ، فَقُلْنَا: كَمْ بَيْنَ أَهْلِكِ وَبَيْنَ المَاءِ؟ قَالَتْ: يَوْمٌ وَلَيْلَةٌ، فَقُلْنَا: انْطَلِقِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: وَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ فَلَمْ نُمَلِّكْهَا مِنْ أَمْرِهَا حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلْنَا بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَتْنَا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّهَا مُؤْتِمَةٌ، فَأَمَرَ بِمَزَادَتَيْهَا، فَمَسَحَ فِي العَزْلاَوَيْنِ، فَشَرِبْنَا عِطَاشًا أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى رَوِينَا، فَمَلَأْنَا كُلَّ قِرْبَةٍ مَعَنَا وَإِدَاوَةٍ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ نَسْقِ بَعِيرًا، وَهِيَ تَكَادُ تَنِضُّ مِنَ المِلْءِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَاتُوا مَا عِنْدَكُمْ» فَجُمِعَ لَهَا مِنَ الكِسَرِ وَالتَّمْرِ، حَتَّى أَتَتْ أَهْلَهَا، قَالَتْ: لَقِيتُ أَسْحَرَ النَّاسِ، أَوْ هُوَ نَبِيٌّ كَمَا زَعَمُوا، فَهَدَى اللَّهُ ذَاكَ الصِّرْمَ بِتِلْكَ المَرْأَةِ، فَأَسْلَمَتْ وَأَسْلَمُوا
