Hazrat Ma’aaz Bin Jabal (Allaah be pleased with him) says, that we went for the war of Tabuuk with the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam). The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) said, In Shaa Allaah tomorrow you will reach the spring of Tabuuk at such a time, when the sun will be hot and those people who reach there they should not touch the water of that spring.

Therefore, when the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) reached there, it had very little water in it. The Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) took little by little water from it and collected it in a utensil.

Then he washed his sacred face and with both the hands and poured that water in the spring. So, that spring started over-flowing and the water became a lot.Therefore,all the people became full after drinking the water. Then the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu‘AlaiehiWaSallam)said O Ma’aaz, if your life will be long then you will

see this place will be full of gardens. (Muslim:5947,Khasaais-e-Kubraa,vol-1,pg.273)

When the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) told them not to put their hands in with water, it defines to us that there is definitely some meaningful effect of touching hands. And this effect is according to the person’s abilities, good by the noble ones and bad by the wrongdoers. But as that effect is not visible therefore those who have limited understanding have hesitation. Nevertheless those who are the people of disclosure they can see it.

Therefore, Saiyyidee Imaam Abdul Wahhaab Shu’raanee (Allaah have mercy on him) says that when the Leader of the Leaders [Imaam-ul-A’immah], Sun of the Nation [Siraaj-ul-Ummah], the Great Leader [Imaam-e A’zam] Abu Haneefah (Allah have mercy on him) would go to the masjid and would see the people doing ablution [wuzu] so, in the used water, he could feel that this person does such kind of sin. Therefore, he would say to him in seclusion that you do such and such sin leave that sin! People would often repent. In the end, this order felt distressing on Imaam Saahib that he could see the vices of the people. So, he pleaded to Allaah, this Power of vision maybe lifted.

(Al-Meezaan ul Kubraa, (Urdu), vol-1, pg. 141, Fazaa’il-e-Zikr, pg. 149)

Hence, the Imaam Saahib could feel the impurity of sins in the water. For this reason, in the issue of water, he did severity to the extend the Jurists of Hanafiyyah implied the section of 10 X 10.

And this was the reason anything that was touched by the sacred hands of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu ‘Alaiehi Wa Sallam) the companions would attain benediction from it.

Moreover there is no surprise in this that in our religion the handshake which is appreciated, in our religion this is also one reason of it, to receive the blessings of the hands of the noble people of the religion. And when they touch the grave of some pious men and apply their hands to their faces or kiss the grave, hence in this also, this appropriateness has been kept preserved. Hence the face of the Prophet is the manifestation of the Divine brilliance and marvelousness and the source of qualities and flawlessness.
