That when the cup of the Prophet cracked, he mended the crack with a silver chain

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that when the cup of the Prophet cracked, he mended the crack with a silver chain.

[Sahih/Authentic.] [Al-Bukhari]

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had a glass to drink water in. The cup cracked, so the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mended it with a silver chain, i.e. He took a piece of silver and joined the two sides of the crack.
