حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَسُرَيْجُ بْنُ يُونُسَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَلاَءُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى الْمَقْبُرَةَ فَقَالَ: «السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لاَحِقُونَ، وَدِدْتُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا إِخْوَانَنَا». قَالُوا: أَوَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي وَإِخْوَانُنَا الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بَعْدُ». فَقَالُوا: كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً لَهُ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَىْ خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ، أَلاَ يَعْرِفُ خَيْلَهُ؟» قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ، وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ. أَلاَ لَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ، أُنَادِيهِمْ: أَلاَ 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 believing people. Allah willing, we will join you. I wish that we had seen our brothers." They said, "Are we not your brothers, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "You are my Companions, and our brothers are those who have not yet come." They asked, "How will you recognize those of your community who have not yet come, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Consider a man who has horses with white blazes and white markings on their legs among horses that are entirely black. Would he not recognize his horses?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "They will come with white blazes and white markings from ablution, and I will precede them at the Basin. Indeed, some men will be driven away from my Basin as a stray camel is driven away. I will call to them, 'Come here!' But it will be said, 'They made changes after you.' Then I will say, 'Away with them! Away with them!'"
