عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ خَلِيفَتَيْنِ : كِتَابَ اللَّهِ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ - أَوْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ - وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي ، وَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَتَفَرَّقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ " .

These two will not separate from each other until they both come to me at the Pond."
