حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِکٍ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ حَوْضِي لَأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَی عَدَنَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَآنِيَتُهُ أَکْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ وَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنْ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَی مِنْ الْعَسَلِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ کَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الْإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوئِ لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِکُمْ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4302
It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "My Cistern is Wider than the distance between Allah and 'Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whi ter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern." It was said: "0 Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?" He said: "Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you." (Sahih)
