English translation
3574. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ went out on one of his journeys with some of his companions. They went on travelling till the time of the Salāt (prayer) became due. They could not find water to perform the ablution. One of them went away and brought a little amount of water in a pot. The Prophet ﷺ took it and performed the ablution, and then stretched his four fingers on to the pot and said (to the people), "Get up to perform the ablution." They started performing the ablution till all of them performed the ablution, and they were nearly seventy or so.
