Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ وَيَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الْمَعْنَى عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ نُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَامَ كُلُّ قَرِيبِ الدَّارِ مِنْ الْمَسْجِدِ وَبَقِيَ مَنْ كَانَ أَهْلُهُ نَائِيَ الدَّارِ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِخْضَبٍ مِنْ حِجَارَةٍ فَصَغُرَ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ أَكُفَّهُ فِيهِ قَالَ فَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ قَالَ فَتَوَضَّأَ بَقِيَّتُهُمْ قَالَ حُمَيْدٌ وَسُئِلَ أَنَسٌ كَمْ كَانُوا قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ أَوْ زِيَادَةً.
English Translation
Ibn Abi Adiyy narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, and Yazid, Humayd informed us - the meaning being the same - from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The call for prayer was announced, and everyone whose house was near the mosque got up, while those whose families' homes were far remained. A stone basin was brought to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, but it was too small for him to spread his hands in it. He said: So he drew his fingers together, and the rest of them performed ablution from it. Humayd said: Anas was asked how many they were, and he said, "Eighty, or more."
