Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَكِيٍّ ذَمَّةٍ فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا سِتَّةٌ أَنَا سَابِعُهُمْ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ أَنَا ثَامِنُهُمْ قَالَ مَاحَةً فَأُدْلِيَتْ إِلَيْنَا دَلْوٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى شَفَةِ الرَّكِيِّ فَجَعَلْتُ فِيهَا نِصْفَهَا أَوْ قِرَابَ ثُلُثِهَا فَرُفِعَتْ الدَّلْوُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ وَكِدْتُ بِإِنَائِي هَلْ أَجِدُ شَيْئًا أَجْعَلُهُ فِي حَلْقِي فَمَا وَجَدْتُ فَغَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا وَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَأُعِيدَتْ إِلَيْنَا الدَّلْوُ بِمَا فِيهَا وَلَقَدْ أُخْرِجَ آخِرُنَا بِثَوْبٍ مَخَافَةَ الْغَرَقِ ثُمَّ سَاحَتْ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً رَهْبَةَ الْغَرَقِ.
English Translation
'Affan told us, Sulayman b. al-Mughirah told us, Humayd b. Hilal told us, Yunus told us, from al-Bara', who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a journey, and we came upon a well with scant water, and six of us went down into it, I being the seventh, or seven of us, I being the eighth, he said, to draw water. A bucket was lowered to us while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sat at the edge of the well; I put into it half of it, or nearly a third of it, and the bucket was raised up to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Al-Bara' said: I was so eager to find something to put in my throat, but I found nothing. So he dipped his hand into it and said what Allah willed him to say, and the bucket was returned to us with what was in it, and indeed our last man was pulled out by his garment for fear of drowning; then the water flowed abundantly. 'Affan said once: for dread of drowning.
