We facts hardship (in getting provisions) until we decided to slaughter some
of our riding animals. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), commanded us
to pool our provisions of food. So we spread a sheet of leather and the
provisions of the people were collected on it. I stretched myself to measure
how much that was (the length and, breadth of the sheet on which the
provisions were laid). I measured it and (found) that it was (in length and
breadth) of (so much size) on which a goat could sit. We were fourteen
hudnred persons. We (all) ate until we were fully satisfied and then filled
our bags with provisions. Then Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:
Is there any water for performing ablution. Then there came a man with a
small bucket containing some water. He threw it in a basin. We all fourteen
hundred persons performed ablution using the water in plenty. Then there
came after that eight persons and they said: Is there any water to perform
ablution? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The
ablution has already been performed.
