Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will be your forerunner at the Pond. Whoever comes to me and drinks will never be thirsty. Beware! Some people will come before me whom I will recognise, but then a barrier will come between me and them." (Allamah al-Haythami said:) I say:
This narration is mentioned in the "Sahih", but without the words from "layaridanna" (they will come to me) to the end. Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
