    • 7th century CE, Sunan Ibn Mājah, 30:62:
      " إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَٱسْقِنَا وَإِلَّا كَرَعْنَا " . قَالَ عِنْدِي مَاءٌ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ . فَٱنْطَلَقَ وَٱنْطَلَقْنَا مَعَهُ إِلَى ٱلْعَرِيشِ فَحَلَبَ لَهُ شَاةً عَلَى مَاءٍ بَاتَ فِي شَنٍّ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَٰلِكَ بِصَاحِبِهِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ .
      " ʔin kāna ʕindaka māʔun bāta fī šannin fasqinā waʔillā karaʕnā " . qāla ʕindī māʔun bāta fī šannin . fanṭalaqa wanṭalaqnā maʕahu ʔilā l-ʕarīši faḥalaba lahu šātan ʕalā māʔin bāta fī šannin fašariba ṯumma faʕala miṯla ḏālika biṣāḥibihi llaḏī maʕahu .
      ‘If you have any water that has been kept overnight in a water skin, then give us some to drink, otherwise we will drink by putting out mouths in the basin.’ He said: ‘I have water that has been kept in a water skin. So he went and we went with him, to the shelter, where he milked a sheep for him and (mixed it with) the water that had been kept overnight in a water skin. He drank from it, then he did likewise for his Companion who was with him.”
