Hadith #3575
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُنِيرٍ، سَمِعَ يَزِيدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقَامَ مَنْ كَانَ قَرِيبَ الدَّارِ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ يَتَوَضَّأُ، وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ، فَأُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، فَوَضَعَ كَفَّهُ فَصَغُرَ الْمِخْضَبُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ، فَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي الْمِخْضَبِ، فَتَوَضَّأَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا. قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانُوا قَالَ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلاً.
Anas bin Malik said, "Once the time of the prayer became due and the people whose houses were
close to the Mosque went to their houses to perform ablution, while the others remained (sitting there).
A stone pot containing water was brought to the Prophet, who wanted to put his hand in it, but It was
too small for him to spread his hand in it, and so he had to bring his fingers together before putting his
hand in the pot. Then all the people performed the ablution (with that water)." I asked Anas, "How
many persons were they." He replied, "There were eighty men."
