To perform ablution from an earthen-ware pot

Narrated Thabit: Anas said, "The Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) asked for water and a tumbler with a broad base and no so deep, containing a small quantity of water, was brought to him whereby he put his fingers in it." Anas further said, ' noticed the water springing out from amongst his fingers." Anas added, ' estimated that the people who performed ablution with it numbered between seventy to eighty."
