حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ , عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ , عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ حَوْضِي لَأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى عَدَنَ , 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 " , قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ , تَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ , لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ " .
´It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “My Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and ‘Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?” He said: “Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) cistern (hawd) will be exclusively for his ummah.
➋ The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) will recognize the individuals of his ummah because their hands and feet will be shining. This indicates that the Prophet is neither omnipresent nor all-knowing of the unseen.
➌ Those who neglect prayer will not be able to drink from the cistern, because they will not possess the distinguishing mark of the Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➍ The water in the Hawd al-Kawthar will come from Paradise, and therefore it will possess the excellent qualities of the blessings of Paradise.
