Sahih al-Bukhari 3572 (Book 61, Hadith 81) #3413
Abundance of Water from a Small Bowl

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ablution with a bowl of water and it was enough for 300 people.

Narrated Anas: A bowl of water was brought to the Prophet while he was at Az-Zawra. He placed his hand in it and the water started flowing among his fingers. All the people performed ablution (with that water). Qatada asked Anas, "How many people were you?" Anas replied, "Three hundred or nearly three hundred".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ بِإِنَاءٍ وَهْوَ بِالزَّوْرَاءِ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ، فَجَعَلَ الْمَاءُ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ، فَتَوَضَّأَ الْقَوْمُ‏.‏ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ قَالَ ثَلاَثَمِائَةٍ، أَوْ زُهَاءَ ثَلاَثِمِائَةٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the miracle that happened to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he was at Az-Zawra. A bowl of water was brought to him and he placed his hand in it. Surprisingly, the water started flowing among his fingers and it was enough for 300 people to perform ablution with it. This shows us how generous Allah is and how He can provide abundance from small things. It also teaches us that we should be thankful for all the blessings we have been given by Allah no matter how small they may seem.
