حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ وَوَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی وَاللَّفْظُ لِوَاصِلٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَرِدُ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي الْحَوْضَ وَأَنَا أَذُودُ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ کَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ إِبِلَ الرَّجُلِ عَنْ إِبِلِهِ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ لَکُمْ سِيمَا لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِکُمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوئِ وَلَيُصَدَّنَّ عَنِّي طَائِفَةٌ مِنْکُمْ فَلَا يَصِلُونَ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ هَؤُلَائِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي فَيُجِيبُنِي مَلَکٌ فَيَقُولُ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 582
Abu Huraira reported: Verily Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: My Cistern has its dimensions wider than the distance between Aila and Aden, and its water is whiter than ice and sweeter than the honey diluted with milk, and its cups are more numerous than the numbers of the stars. Verily I shall prevent the (faithless) people therefrom just as a man prevents the camels of the people from his fountain. They said: Messenger of Allah, will you recognise us on that day? He said: Yes, you will have distinctive marks which nobody among the peoples (except you) will have; you would come to me with blazing forehead and bright hands and feet on account of the traces of ablution.
