76. It was narrated that Anas said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when the time for Aṣr prayer had come. The people looked for (water for) Wuḍū' but they could not find any. Then some (water for) Wuḍū' was brought to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. He put his hand in that vessel and told the people to perform Wuḍū', and I saw water springing from beneath his fingers, until they had all performed Wuḍū'." (Saḥīḥ)
76 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوءَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَضُوءٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْإِنَاءِ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا، فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ»

1. The intent of this chapter is to demonstrate that one may perform ablution by scooping palmfuls of water from a vessel. If this method is employed, one will have to frequently immerse one's hand into the vessel; and thus along with the hand, the water leftover from the previous immersion of the hand will fall back into the vessel. What this means is that, with this method of performing ablution, a small quantity of water will end up being reused. The point here is that there is no harm in that happening. 2. Numerous incidents of this kind have been narrated in authentic Ahâdîth. The fact is that, while the Qur'ân is the greatest miracle with which Allâh blessed the Prophet ﷺ, He blessed the Prophet ﷺ with many other miracles as well. For example, on numerous occasions, a small amount of water in the hands of the Prophet ﷺ satisfied a large number of people. The Companions ؓ witnessed such miracles with their own eyes. [Sahîh Al-Bukhârî Al-Maghazî (Battles): Hadîth 4102]. Likewise, many times a small quantity of food sufficed a large number of people. These, and many other miracles are related in authentic narrations, and only those who have doubts about Islam in their hearts, will have doubts about such miracles.
