I saw Bilal Habashi come out with the water leftover from the Prophet (S) making his ablutions. The people gathered around him and each took some of that water with which he washed his face. Whoever could not get any water would touch the other people and get wet and then rub his hands on his face. They used to do the same thing with the water leftover from Ali’s (a.s.) ablutions.”
