He (the man) came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he asked him for some salt and he gave it to him. When he left, a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you know what you gave him?" He replied, "I only gave him a small amount of water." So he took it back from him using the word "a lot of water".

أَنَّهُ وَفَدَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاسْتَقْطَعَهُ الْمِلْحَ فَقَطَعَهُ لَهُ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَدْرِي مَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ؟ إِنَّمَا قَطَعْتَ لَهُ الْمَاءَ الْعِدَّ فَرَجَعَهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ يَعْنِي بِالْمَاءِ الْكَثِيرِ
