Musnad Ahmad 6514

Translation

✧ Ubaidullah ibn Ziyad used to ask about the Haudh (pool) of Muhammad ﷺ and would deny its existence after Aba Barzah, Al-Bara ibn Azib, A'ith ibn Amr, and another man confirmed it. Abu Sabrah said, "I will tell you a story in which the cure for this denial lies. Your father sent me with money to Muawiya and I met Abdullah ibn Amr who narrated to me something he heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I dictated it to him and wrote it down with my own hand, without adding or subtracting a letter. He told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, Allah does not like obscenity and indecency nor does He like those who practice them. The Hour will not be established until obscenity, indecency, severing of family ties, and bad neighborly relations appear, and until the traitor and the untrustworthy are trusted.' He also said, 'Behold, your appointment is at my Haudh (pool). Its width and length are equal, like the distance between Ayla and Makkah, which is the length of a month's journey. Its drinkware is whiter than silver, and whoever drinks from it will never be thirsty again.' Upon hearing this, Ubaidullah said, 'I have not heard anything about the Haudh that is more certain than this.' He then took the script and kept it with him."

Notes

• حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ أَوْ يُبْغِضُ الْفَاحِشَ وَالْمُتَفَحِّشَ قَالَ وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَظْهَرَ الْفُحْشُ وَالتَّفَاحُشُ وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَسُوءُ الْمُجَاوَرَةِ وَحَتَّى يُؤْتَمَنَ الْخَائِنُ وَيُخَوَّنَ الْأَمِينُ وَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ مَوْعِدَكُمْ حَوْضِي عَرْضُهُ وَطُولُهُ وَاحِدٌ وَهُوَ كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ وَمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ فِيهِ مِثْلُ النُّجُومِ أَبَارِيقُ شَرَابُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ مَشْرَبًا لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي الْحَوْضِ حَدِيثًا أَثْبَتَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَأَخَذَ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَحَبَسَهَا عِنْدَهُ
