The Prophet’s Finger Emits Water
Among the Prophet’s miracles related to inanimate objects was water gushing and flowing from between his fingers.
Anas bin Malik once saw the Messenger of Allah when the Asr prayer arrived. People looked for ablution water, but they found no water.
The Messenger of Allah came carrying a container filled with water for ablution. The Prophet then put his hands into the container, then he ordered the people to perform ablution from the container.
At that time, Anas bin Malik saw water gushing from the Prophet’s fingers. Truly extraordinary. The water that gushed from the Prophet’s fingers could be used for ablution for around 300 people. ***
