Sahih Bukhari 7049 — The Statement of Allah: “And fear the Fitnah
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ، لَيُرْفَعَنَّ إِلَيَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْكُمْ ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَهْوَيْتُ لِأُنَاوِلَهُمُ اخْتُلِجُوا دُونِي ، فَأَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، أَصْحَابِي ، يَقُولُ : لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ ".
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount (Kauthar) and some men amongst you will be brought to me, and when I will try to hand them some water, they will be pulled away from me by force whereupon I will say, 'O Lord, my companions!' Then the Almighty will say, 'You do not know what they did after you left, they introduced new things into the religion after you.'"
