عنْ أَنسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاةُ، فَقَامَ منْ كانَ قَريبَ الدَّارِ إِلى أَهْلِهِ، وَبَقِيَ قَوْمٌ فَأُتِيَ رسُولُ اللهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ، فَصَغُرَ المِخْضَبُ أَنْ يبْسُطَ فِيهِ كَفَّهُ، فَتَوَضَّأَ القَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ. قالوا: كَمْ كُنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ: ثَمَانِينَ وزِيادةً. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ، هذهِ روايةُ الْبُخَارِيِّ. وفي روايةٍ لهُ وَلِمُسْلِمٍ: أَنَّ النَّبيَّ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ دَعا بِإِناءٍ مِنْ ماءٍ، فأُتِيَ بِقَدَحٍ رَحْرَاحٍ فِيهِ شَيءٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَوَضَعَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِيهِ. قَالَ أَنسٌ: فَجعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلى الماءِ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصابِعِهِ، فَحزَرْتُ منْ تَوَضَّأَ منه ما بيْنَ السَّبْعِينَ إِلى الثَّمَانِينَ.

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The time for prayer arrived, so those whose homes were nearby went to their families, while a group remained. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was brought a stone basin, but the basin was too small for him to spread his palm in it, yet all the people performed ablution from it. They asked, "How many were you?" He said, "Eighty and more." Agreed upon (al-Bukhari and Muslim); this is al-Bukhari's wording. In a narration of his and of Muslim: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a vessel of water, and a shallow bowl containing a little water was brought to him. He placed his fingers in it. Anas said: I began to look at the water gushing forth from between his fingers, and I estimated that those who performed ablution from it were between seventy and eighty.
