English Translation

Yahya ibn Zakariyya told us, from Isra'il, from Abu Fazarah, from Abu Zayd, the freedman of 'Amr ibn Hurayth, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: I was with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, on the night he met the jinn. He said, 'Do you have water with you?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'What is this in the water-skin?' I said, 'Nabidh.' He said, 'Show it to me — a good date and pure water.' So he performed ablution with it, then led us in prayer.
