Hadith 790:84
Yahya narrated to us, from ‘Awf, Abu Raja’ narrated to us, ‘Imran ibn Husayn narrated to me, he said: We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), and we traveled through the night until, when we were in the last part of the night, we fell into that sleep, and there is no sleep sweeter to the traveler than it. He said: Nothing woke us except the heat of the sun. The first to wake up was so-and-so, then so-and-so—Abu Raja’ named them, but ‘Awf forgot them—then ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab was the fourth. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), when he slept, we would not wake him until he himself woke up, because we did not know what might happen to him in his sleep. When ‘Umar woke up and saw what had befallen the people—and he was a man who was loud-voiced and hardy—he said: So he said *Allahu Akbar* and raised his voice with the *Takbir*. He kept saying *Allahu Akbar* and raising his voice with the *Takbir* until the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) woke up due to his voice. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) woke up, they complained to him about what had befallen them. He said: "No harm," or "It does not harm. Depart." So he departed and traveled a short distance, then he stopped and called for water for ablution, and he performed ablution. The call to prayer was made, and he led the people in prayer. When he turned away from his prayer, he saw a man standing apart who had not prayed with the people. He said: "What prevented you, O so-and-so, from praying with the people?" He said: O Messenger of Allah, a state of ritual impurity (*janabah*) befell me, and there is no water. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "You must use the earth (*al-sa'id*), for it is sufficient for you." Then the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) traveled, and the people complained to him of thirst. He stopped and called for so-and-so—Abu Raja’ named him, but ‘Awf forgot him—and he called ‘Ali and said: "Go and seek water for us." He said: So they went off and met a woman between two water skins (*mazadatayn*) or two leather bags (*satih-tayn*) of water on her camel. They said to her: "Where is the water?" She said: My last time with water was yesterday at this hour, and our men are away. He said: They said to her: "Come along." She said: To where? They said: To the Messenger of Allah. She said: This one who is called the *Sabi’* (the apostate/the one who has changed his religion)? They said: He is the one you mean. So come along. They brought her to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and told him the story. They helped her down from her camel, and the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) called for a vessel and poured into it from the mouths of the two water skins or the two leather bags. He tied their mouths, and it was announced to the people: "Give drink and draw water." So whoever wished to drink drank, and whoever wished to draw water drew water. The last of that was that he gave the one who was in a state of ritual impurity a vessel of water and said: "Go and pour it over yourself." He said: She was standing, watching what he was doing with her water. He said: By Allah, it had been taken from her, and it seemed to us that it was fuller than it was when he started with it. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Gather for her." They gathered for her from among dates, flour, and *sawiq* (barley meal) until they had gathered much food for her. They put it in a garment and helped her onto her camel, and they placed the garment in front of her. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said to her: "You know, by Allah, that we did not take anything from your water, but it is Allah who gave us to drink." He said: She came to her people, and she had been delayed from them. They said: What kept you, O so-and-so? She said: A wonder! Two men met me and took me to this one who is called the *Sabi’*, and he did with my water such and such—for what had happened. By Allah, he is either the greatest sorcerer between this and this—and she pointed with her middle finger and index finger, and she raised them to the sky, meaning the sky and the earth—or he is truly the Messenger of Allah. He said: The Muslims used to raid the polytheists around her after that, but they would not touch the tribe to which she belonged. So she said one day to her people: I do not think that these people are leaving you alone by accident. So would you like to enter Islam? They obeyed her, and they entered into Islam.
حدثنا يحيى، عن عوف، حدثنا أبو رجاء، حدثني عمران بن حصين قال: كنا في سفر مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وإنا أسرينا حتى إذا كنا في آخر الليل وقعنا تلك الوقعة، فلا وقعة أحلى عند المسافر منها. قال: فما أيقظنا إلا حر الشمس، وكان أول من استيقظ فلان، ثم فلان، كان يسميهم أبو رجاء ونسيهم عوف، ثم عمر بن الخطاب الرابع، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا نام لم نوقظه حتى يكون هو يستيقظ؛ لأنا لا ندري ما يحدث له في نومه، فلما استيقظ عمر، ورأى ما أصاب الناس، وكان رجلا أجوف جليدا قال: فكبر ورفع صوته بالتكبير، فما زال يكبر ويرفع صوته بالتكبير حتى استيقظ لصوته رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فلما استيقظ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شكوا الذي أصابهم. فقال: " لا ضير أو لا يضير ارتحلوا ". فارتحل فسار غير بعيد، ثم نزل فدعا بالوضوء فتوضأ، ونودي بالصلاة فصلى بالناس، فلما انفتل من صلاته إذا هو برجل معتزل لم يصل مع القوم فقال: " ما منعك يا فلان أن تصلي مع القوم؟ " فقال: يا رسول الله أصابتني جنابة ولا ماء. قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " عليك بالصعيد؛ فإنه يكفيك ". ثم سار رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاشتكى إليه الناس العطش، فنزل فدعا فلانا، كان يسميه أبو رجاء، ونسيه عوف، ودعا عليا فقال: اذهبا فابغيا لنا الماء. قال: فانطلقا فيلقيان امرأة بين مزادتين أو سطيحتين من ماء على بعير لها فقالا لها: أين الماء؟ فقالت: عهدي بالماء أمس هذه الساعة، ونفرنا خلوف. قال: فقالا لها: انطلقي. إذا قالت: إلى أين؟ قالا: إلى رسول الله. قالت: هذا الذي يقال له الصابئ؟ قالا: هو الذي تعنين. فانطلقي إذا فجاءا بها إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فحدثاه الحديث، فاستنزلوها عن بعيرها، ودعا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بإناء، فأفرغ فيه من أفواه المزادتين أو السطيحتين، وأوكى أفواههما، فأطلق العزالي ونودي في الناس: أن اسقوا واستقوا، فسقى من شاء واستقى من شاء، وكان آخر ذلك أن أعطى الذي أصابته الجنابة إناء من ماء، فقال: " اذهب فأفرغه عليك ". قال: وهي قائمة تنظر ما يفعل بمائها قال: وايم الله لقد أقلع عنها، وإنه ليخيل إلينا أنها أشد ملأة منها حين ابتدأ فيها فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " اجمعوا لها ". فجمعوا لها من بين عجوة ودقيقة وسويقة حتى جمعوا لها طعاما كثيرا وجعلوه في ثوب وحملوها على بعيرها ، ووضعوا الثوب بين يديها، فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " تعلمين والله ما رزئناك من مائك شيئا، ولكن الله هو سقانا " قال: فأتت أهلها وقد احتبست عنهم فقالوا: ما حبسك يا فلانة؟ فقالت: العجب لقيني رجلان فذهبا بي إلى هذا الذي يقال له الصابئ ففعل بمائي كذا وكذا، للذي قد كان، فوالله إنه لأسحر من بين هذه وهذه وقالت بأصبعيها الوسطى والسبابة، فرفعتهما إلى السماء، تعني السماء والأرض، أو إنه لرسول الله حقا قال: وكان المسلمون بعد يغيرون على ما حولها من المشركين، ولا يصيبون الصرم الذي هي منه فقالت: يوما لقومها ما أرى أن هؤلاء القوم يدعونكم عمدا ؟ فهل لكم في الإسلام؟ فأطاعوها فدخلوا في الإسلام . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
