Sahih Ibn Hibban 1602

Translation

✧ We set out, a delegation of six, to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: five from Banu Hanifah and the sixth a man from Dubay'ah b. Rabi'ah, until we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We pledged allegiance to him, prayed with him, and told him that in our land we had a church, and we asked him for some of the leftover water of his purification. He called for water, performed ablution from it, rinsed his mouth, then poured it into a vessel for us. Then he said, 'Go with this water. When you reach your town, break your church, sprinkle its place with this water, and make it a mosque.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the town is far and the water will dry up.' He said, 'Then add more water to it, for it will only increase it in goodness.' We departed and vied with one another over carrying the vessel. The Messenger of Allah assigned each of us to carry it for a day and a night. We traveled with it until we reached our town and did what he commanded. The monk of those people was a man from Tayy. We called him to prayer, and the monk said, 'A true call,' then fled and was not seen again.
