al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 7374

Translation

✧ It reached Umar b. Abd al-Aziz that Abu al-Ahwas was narrating a hadith from Thawban. He said: So he sent for him, and he was carried on the postal mount. He said: When he reached him and entered upon him, he greeted and said: 'O Commander of the Believers, the ride on the postal mount has indeed been hard on my leg.' He said: Umar said, as if in sympathy: 'We did not intend hardship for you, O Abu Sallam, but a hadith reached me that you narrate from Thawban from the Prophet of Allah ﷺ about the Basin, and I wished that you relate it to me directly.' Abu Sallam said: I heard Thawban say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'My Basin is between Aden and Amman al-Balqa'. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and its cups are as numerous as the stars. Whoever drinks a drink from it will never thirst after it, ever. The first of people to arrive at it will be the poor emigrants, disheveled of hair and soiled of garments, who do not marry the pampered women, and for whom the gates [of the rulers] are not opened.' He said: Umar said: 'But I have married a pampered woman, Fatimah bt. Abd al-Malik, and the gates have been opened for me. No doubt, I will not wash my head until it becomes disheveled, nor the garment that touches my body until it becomes soiled.'
