Mujāhid ibn Mūsā, Abū Bakr ibn al-Naḍr ibn Abī al-Naḍr, and Hārūn ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, all of them from Abū al-Naḍr. Abū Bakr said: Abū al-Naḍr — meaning Hāshim ibn al-Qāsim — narrated to us, from Sulaymān ibn al-Mughīrah, from Thābit, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said:

When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prayed the morning prayer, the servants of Madīnah would come with their vessels containing water, and no vessel was brought to him except that he dipped his hand into it. Sometimes they would come to him on a cold morning, and he would dip his hand into it.
