أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِنَّ حَوْضِي لَأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى عَدْنَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ وَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الْإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ» فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَتَعْرِفُنَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ»

✧ "My Basin is farther than the distance from Aylah to 'Adan. By the One in whose hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will drive away men from it as a man drives away strange camels from his basin." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?" He said, "Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces and limbs from the traces of ablution, which no one else will have."
