Imran bin Husayn reported,

We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and traveled through the night until, in the last part of it, we fell into that kind of sleep which is sweeter to a traveler than any other.Nothing woke us but the heat of the sun. The first to wake was so-and-so, then so-and-so. Abu Raja used to name them, but Awf forgot their names. Then Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was the fourth.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he slept, we would not wake him until he woke on his own, for we did not know what might come to him in his sleep. When Umar woke and saw what had befallen the people, being a stout-hearted, loud-voiced man, he raised his voice in takbir and kept calling out the takbir loudly until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up at his voice.When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ awoke, the people complained to him of what had befallen them. He said, "There is no harm in it. Set out."So they set out. He traveled a short distance, then dismounted and called for water for ablution. He performed ablution, the call to prayer was made, and he led the people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, he noticed a man standing apart who had not prayed with the others.He asked, "What kept you, so-and-so, from praying with the people?"The man replied, "Messenger of Allah, I am in a state of major ritual impurity and there is no water."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You may use clean earth, that will suffice you."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued on, and the people complained to him of thirst. He dismounted and called for so-and-so, whom Abu Raja used to name but Awf forgot, and he called for Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. He said, "Go and find water for us."So they set off and came upon a woman seated between two waterskins, or two large leather bags of water, on her camel.They asked her, "Where is the water?"She replied, "I was at the water yesterday at this hour, and our menfolk are behind."They said to her, "Then come along."She asked, "Where to?"They said, "To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."She said, "The one they call the Sabian?"They said, "He is the one you mean. So come along."They brought her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him what had happened. They had her dismount from her camel, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a vessel and poured into it from the mouths of the two waterskins, or two leather bags. Then he tied up their mouths and loosened the lower openings, and it was announced among the people, "Drink and water yourselves."So whoever wished drank, and whoever wished watered his animals. The last thing was that he gave the man who had been in a state of major ritual impurity a vessel of water and said, "Go and pour it over yourself."She stood watching what was being done with her water. By Allah, when he stopped drawing from it, it seemed to us that it was fuller than when he had first begun.Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather something for her."So they gathered for her dates, flour, and parched grain, until they had collected a good amount of food. They placed it in a cloth, helped her onto her camel, and set the cloth before her.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "You know, by Allah, we have not taken anything from your water. It is Allah who has given us drink."She returned to her family, having been delayed from them. They asked her, "What kept you, so-and-so?"She said, "A wonder. Two men met me and took me to this man they call the Sabian, and he did such-and-such with my water," referring to what had happened. "By Allah, he is either the greatest sorcerer between this and this," and she pointed with her middle and index fingers raised toward the sky, meaning heaven and earth, "or he is truly the Messenger of Allah."After that, the Muslims used to raid the polytheists around her settlement but would never touch the encampment in which she lived.One day she said to her people, "I do not think these people leave you alone except deliberately. Will you not enter Islam?"They obeyed her and entered Islam.

حدثنا يحيى عن عوف حدثنا أبو رجاء حدثني

عمران بن حصين قال

كنا في سفر مع رسول الله ﷺ وإنا أسرينا حتى إذا كنا في آخر الليل وقعنا تلك الوقعة فلا وقعة أحلى عند المسافر منها قال فما أيقظنا إلا حر الشمس وكان أول من استيقظ فلان ثم فلان كان يسميهم أبو رجاء ونسيهم عوف ثم عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله تعالى عنه الرابع وكان رسول الله ﷺ إذا نام لم نوقظه حتى يكون هو يستيقظ لأنا لا ندري ما يحدث أو يحدث له في نومه فلما استيقظ عمر ورأى ما أصاب الناس وكان رجلا أجوف جليدا قال فكبر ورفع صوته بالتكبير فما زال يكبر ويرفع صوته بالتكبير حتى استيقظ لصوته رسول الله ﷺ فلما استيقظ رسول الله ﷺ شكوا الذي أصابهم فقال لا ضير أو لا يضير ارتحلوا فارتحل فسار غير بعيد ثم نزل فدعا بالوضوء فتوضأ ونودي بالصلاة فصلى بالناس فلما انفتل من صلاته إذا هو برجل معتزل لم يصل مع القوم فقال ما منعك يا فلان أن تصلي مع القوم فقال يا رسول الله أصابتني جنابة ولا ماء قال رسول الله ﷺ عليك بالصعيد فإنه يكفيك ثم سار رسول الله ﷺ فاشتكى إليه الناس العطش فنزل فدعا فلانا كان يسميه أبو رجاء ونسيه عوف ودعا عليا رضي الله تعالى عنه فقال اذهبا فابغيا لنا الماء قال فانطلقا فيلقيان امرأة بين مزادتين أو سطيحتين من ماء على بعير لها فقالا لها أين الماء فقالت عهدي بالماء أمس هذه الساعة ونفرنا خلوف قال فقالا لها انطلقي إذا قالت إلى أين قالا إلى رسول الله ﷺ قالت هذا الذي يقال له الصابئ قالا هو الذي تعنين فانطلقي إذا فجاءا بها إلى رسول الله ﷺ فحدثاه الحديث فاستنزلوها عن بعيرها ودعا رسول الله ﷺ بإناء فأفرغ فيه من أفواه المزادتين أو السطيحتين وأوكأ أفواههما فأطلق العزالي ونودي في الناس أن اسقوا واستقوا فسقى من شاء واستقى من شاء وكان آخر ذلك أن أعطى الذي أصابته الجنابة إناء من ماء فقال اذهب فأفرغه عليك قال وهي قائمة تنظر ما يفعل بمائها قال وايم الله لقد أقلع عنها وإنه ليخيل إلينا أنها أشد ملأة منها حين ابتدأ فيها فقال رسول الله ﷺ اجمعوا لها فجمع لها من بين عجوة ودقيقة وسويقة حتى جمعوا لها طعاما كثيرا وجعلوه في ثوب وحملوها على بعيرها ووضعوا الثوب بين يديها فقال لها رسول الله ﷺ تعلمين والله ما رزأناك من مائك شيئا ولكن الله عز وجل هو سقانا قال فأتت أهلها وقد احتبست عنهم فقالوا ما حبسك يا فلانة فقالت العجب لقيني رجلان فذهبا بي إلى هذا الذي يقال له الصابئ ففعل بمائي كذا وكذا للذي قد كان فوالله إنه لأسحر من بين هذه وهذه قالت بأصبعيها الوسطى والسبابة فرفعتهما إلى السماء يعني السماء والأرض أو إنه لرسول الله ﷺ حقا قال وكان المسلمون بعد يغيرون على ما حولها من المشركين ولا يصيبون الصرم الذي هي فيه فقالت يوما لقومها ما أرى أن هؤلاء القوم يدعونكم عمدا فهل لكم في الإسلام فأطاعوها فدخلوا في الإسلام
