`Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that` he (peace be upon him) said: I will be your forerunner at the Hawd (the Pond), and the distance between its two banks is like that between Sana'a and Aylah, and its drinking vessels are like the stars.
