اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا يَحْيَى ثَنَا حُسَيْنُ الْمُعَلِّمُ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَبِرَةَ قَالَ كَانَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ حَوْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ بَعْدَ مَا سَأَلَ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ وَالْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ وَعَائِذَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو وَرَجُلًا آخَرَ وَكَانَ يُكَذِّبُ بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَبِرَةَ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ فِيهِ شِفَاءُ هَذَا إِنَّ أَبَاكَ بَعَثَ مَعِيَ بِمَالٍ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَلَقِيتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو فَحَدَّثَنِي بِمَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَمْلَى عَلَيَّ فَكَتَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَلَمْ أَزِدْ حَرْفًا وَلَمْ أَنْقُصْ حَرْفًا حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ“ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَفِيهِ ”أَلَا إِنَّ مَوْعِدَكُمْ حَوْضِي عَرْضُهُ وَطُولُهُ وَاحِدٌ هُوَ كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ وَمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ فِيهِ مَثَلُ النُّجُومِ أَبَارِيقُ شَرَابُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ مَشْرَبًا لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا“ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي الْحَوْضِ حَدِيثًا أَثْبَتَ مِنْ هَذَا فَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَأَخَذَ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَحَبَسَهَا عِنْدَهُ
(Second chain) Abu Sabrah says: Ubaidullah bin Ziyad used to keep inquiring about the Hawd (Pond) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He had already asked about it from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah, Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib, Sayyiduna ‘Aiz bin Amr, and another companion, yet he would still deny it. One day, Abu Sabrah said to him: I will narrate to you a hadith in which the solution to your confusion is present. Your father sent me to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) after giving me some wealth. There I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrated to me the ahadith he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and also dictated them to me. I wrote down those ahadith with my own hand, not omitting or adding even a single letter. He narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Allah Almighty does not like obscene speech... The rest of the hadith is like the first hadith, except that it adds: Beware! Your meeting with me will be at my Hawd. Its length and width are equal; it is as vast as the distance from Aylah to Makkah Mukarramah, which is a month's journey. There will be drinking vessels there as numerous as the stars in the sky. The water of this Hawd will be whiter than silver. Whoever drinks from it once will never feel thirst again. Upon hearing this hadith, Ubaidullah bin Ziyad said: I have not heard a more authentic and strong hadith about the Hawd of Kawthar than this. Then he affirmed it and kept that scroll (book) with him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: …
1. In the ahadith of this chapter, the existence of the Pond of Kawthar (Hawd al-Kawthar) is affirmed. It is also evident that ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad initially denied the existence of the Pond of Kawthar. Later, after hearing the ahadith from Zayd ibn Arqam radi Allahu anhu and ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr radi Allahu anhu, he retracted his opinion.
2. It is also understood that the outcome for one who deliberately attributes a lie to the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is Hellfire.
3. It is also known that ‘Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad taunted Abu Barzah al-Aslami radi Allahu anhu for being a Companion of the Noble Prophet, and sarcastically called him “Muhammadi.”
4. It is also evident that Allah Ta‘ala dislikes both habitual obscene speech and contrived obscene speech.
5. It is also understood that considering an honest person to be treacherous and a treacherous person to be honest, habitually engaging in obscene speech, engaging in obscene speech with affectation, severing ties of kinship, and mistreating neighbors—all these acts are among the signs of the Hour (Qiyamah).
6. It is also known that the Pond of Kawthar will be extremely vast and expansive. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, by way of example, stated that just as the distance from Aylah to Makkah al-Mukarramah or from San‘a to Madinah al-Munawwarah is, so too will be the distance between the two banks or two sides of the Pond of Kawthar. And there, for drinking water, there will be vessels in number equal to the stars in the sky. And the water of the Pond of Kawthar will be whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and whoever drinks from it will never feel thirst again.
