وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَى الْمَقْبَرَةَ، فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ، وَدِدْتُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا إِخْوَانَنَا ؟ قَالُوا: أَوَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي، وَإِخْوَانُنَا الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بَعْدُ، فَقَالُوا: كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَهُ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ، أَلَا يَعْرِفُ خَيْلَهُ ؟ قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ، وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ، أَلَا لَيُذَادُنَّ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ، فَأُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمَّ، فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ، فَأَقُولُ: سُحْقًا سُحْقًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to the graveyard and said: "Peace be upon you, abode of a believing people. We, if Allah wills, will join you. I wish we could see our brothers." They said, "Are we not your brothers, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You are my companions. Our brothers are those who have not yet come." They said, "How will you recognize those of your community who have not yet come, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "What do you think: if a man had horses with white blazes and white feet among pure black horses, would he not recognize his own horses?" They said, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "They will come with white blazes and white marks from the ablution, and I will precede them to the cistern. Indeed, some will be driven away from my cistern as a stray camel is driven away. I will call to them, 'Come here!' but it will be said, 'They changed after you.' Then I will say, 'Away, away!'"
