Iyas Bin Salama reported on the authority of his father: We set out on an expedition with; Allah Messenger ﷺ. We faced hardship in getting provisions until we decided to slaughter some of our riding animals. Allah Apostle ﷺ ; commanded us to pool our provisions of food. So we spread a sheet of leather and the provisions of the people were collected on it. I stretched myself to measure how much that was the length and breadth of the sheet on which the provisions were laid. I measured it and found that it was in length and breadth of so much size on which a goat could sit. We were fourteen hundred persons. We all ate until we were fully satisfied and then filled our bags with provisions. Then Allah Apostle ﷺ said: Is there any water for performing ablution. Then there came a man with a small bucket containing some water. He threw it in a basin. We all fourteen hundred persons performed ablution using the water in plenty. Then there came after that eight persons and they said: Is there any water to perform ablution? Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: The ablution has already been performed.
