حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ، عَنْ حَنَشٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ فَيُهَرِيقُ الْمَاءَ، فَيَتَمَسَّحُ بِالتُّرَابِ، فَأَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ الْمَاءَ مِنْكَ قَرِيبٌ. فَيَقُولُ: " وَمَا يُدْرِينِي، لَعَلِّي لَا أَبْلُغُهُ " (٢)،

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out, covering his head with his garment, and said: “O people, the people are increasing in number and the Ansar are decreasing. Whoever attains a position of authority in which he is able to benefit anyone, let him accept the good deeds of those who do good and overlook their bad deeds.”
