“We were overcome by thirst, so we appealed to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He called for a basin containing water and placed his hand in it.”

ʿAmr ibn Murrah said in his narration: “Until we performed ablution and drank.” He then said, “Take [water] in the name of Allah.” Husayn said: “Until we performed ablution, and it sufficed us.”

He was asked, “How many of you were there?” He replied, “Had we been one hundred thousand, it would have sufficed us; yet we were one thousand five hundred.”
