حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ المُهَاجِرِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ قَالَ
بَعَثَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْحَبَشِيِّ، فَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَى الْبَرِيدِ ليَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ، فَقُدِمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ثَوْبَانَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ حَوْضِي مِنْ عَدَنَ إِلَى عَمَّانِ الْبَلْقَاءِ مَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، وَأَكَاوِيبُهُ عَدَدُ النُّجُومِ، مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا، أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ وُرُودًا عَلَيْهِ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ: مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: هُمُ الشُّعْثُ رُؤُوسًا، الدُّنْسُ ثِيَابًا، الَّذِينَ لَا يَنْكِحُونَ الْمُتَنَعِّمَاتِ، وَلَا تُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السُّدَدِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ: لَقَدْ نَكَحْتُ الْمُتَنَعِّمَاتِ، وَفُتِحَتْ لِي السُّدَدُ، إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْحَمَنِي اللهُ، وَاللهِ لَا جَرَمَ أَنْ لَا أَدْهُنَ رَأْسِي حَتَّى يَشْعَثَ، وَلَا أَغْسِلَ ثَوْبِي الَّذِي يَلِي جَسَدِي حَتَّى يَتَّسِخَ

✧ Umar b. Abd al-Aziz sent for Abu Sallam al-Habashi, and he was brought to him on the postal mount to ask him about the Pool. He was brought to him and he asked him. He said: I heard Thawban say: I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: My Pool extends from Adan to Amman al-Balqa. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Its cups are as numerous as the stars. Whoever drinks a drink from it will never thirst after it. The first people to come to it are the poor emigrants. Umar b. al-Khattab said: Who are they, O Messenger of God? He said: They are the disheveled of hair, the soiled of clothes, who do not marry soft-living women, and for whom the doors of rulers are not opened. Umar b. Abd al-Aziz said: I have married soft-living women and doors have been opened for me, unless God has mercy on me. By God, I will not fail to leave my hair uncombed until it becomes disheveled, and not wash my garment that touches my body until it becomes soiled.

- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
قال أبو زرعة هكذا رواه مصعب وإنما هو عن أبي سلام عن ثوبان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وقال أبي لا أعرفه من حديث عبد الله بن العلاء بن زبر ولكن رواه يحيى بن الحارث وشيبة بن الأحنف وشداد أبو محمد وعباس بن سالم كلهم عن أبي سلام عن ثوبان عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في الحوض وهو الصحيح
machine translationAbū Zurʿah said: Thus Muṣʿab narrated it, but it is really from Abū Sallām, from Thawbān, from the Prophet ﷺ. And my father said: I do not know it from the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. al-ʿAlāʾ b. Zabr. But Yaḥyā b. al-Ḥārith, Shaybah b. al-Aḥnaf, Shaddād Abū Muḥammad and ʿAbbās b. Sālim all narrated it from Abū Sallām, from Thawbān, from the Prophet ﷺ, concerning the Pond (al-ḥawḍ), and that is the sound (ṣaḥīḥ) version.
