The release of water from the fingers of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam is one proof of the truth of his message sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam. The incident was witnessed by many people and happened beyond human ability. Among the hadith that explain the event, is as told by a friend of Anas bin Malik narrated by Bukhari and Muslim:

"I saw the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam, and at that time Ahsar had arrived. Then humans seek water for ablution, but do not get it. Then there is someone carrying water for ablution. So he put his hand in the vessel where the water was and sent all the people to ablution from there. "Anas bin Malik Radiyallahu Anhu said:" I saw the water coming out of his fingers sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, so that everyone could ablution with water that. "(Narrated by Bukhari, 3573, in the book Manaqib, Chapter: Address Nubuwwah fil-Islam, and Muslim, 2279)

One day during the battle of Hudaibaiyyah, people experienced thirst. They do not get water to drink and perform ablution except for a few in the drinking pot of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. So he sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam performed ablutions, then the humans scrambled to get water because there was very little water, so he sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam said, "What happened to you?" They replied, "We do not have water for ablution and drinking but you have. "So the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam put his hand in a place, then the water emanated from his fingers sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam like a spring. Then we also drink and perform ablution.

Then the hadith narrator, Salim bin Abi Ja'd asked Jaabir bin Abdillah: "How many of you are there?" Jaabir replied, "If we had one hundred thousand, make sure it would be sufficient. However, we only have five hundred people. "(Narrated by Al-Bukhari no. 3576, and Muslim no. 1856)

Qadhi Iyadh said, "The story narrated by people who are trusted (trustworthy) is from many congregations, the sanad arrived at the friends. And the incident occurred in the gathering places of some of them, in crowded places, and in gatherings of war troops. No one has denied the narrator. So this is an addition that explains about his prophethood. "(Fathul-Bari, 6/676)

Ibn Abdil Barr quoted the words of Imam Al-Muzani, that he said: "The exodus of water from the fingers of the Prophet was a greater miracle than the release of water from the stone when Moses struck his wand which then emitted water from it. Because the discharge of water from stone is a matter that has been understood and known, in contrast to the release of water between flesh and blood. "(Fathul-Bari, 6/677)

A poem reads:

"Even if Moses first aih alaihis salam can emit water with his stick, then from the hand of the Prophet sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallam, really the water will overflow. "
