باب إِثْبَاتِ حَوْضِ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصِفَاتِهِ:Chapter: The Cistern Of Our Prophet (SAW) And Its Attributes
Hadith 2297
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ، وَلَأُنَازِعَنَّ أَقْوَامًا ، ثُمَّ لَأُغْلَبَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَأَقُولُ : يَا رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي ، أَصْحَابِي ، فَيُقَالُ : إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ " .
'Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying; I shall be there at the Cistern before you, and I shall have to contend for some people, but I shall have to yield. I would be saying: My Lord, they are my friends, they are my friends, and it would be said: You don't know what innovations they made after you.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam described the Hawd al-Kawthar (Pond of Kawthar) and its water in these words:
"Its water will be whiter than snow and sweeter and more delicious than milk mixed with honey. Its drinking vessels will be more numerous than the stars, and I will drive away other people from it just as a man drives away the camels of others from his own pond."
The Companions radi Allahu anhum asked:
"O Messenger of Allah! Will you recognize us on that day?" He replied:
"Yes, there will be a special sign for you which will not be for any other community.
You will come to me in such a state that your foreheads and hands and feet will be shining due to the marks of ablution (wudu)."
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Taharah, Hadith: 581 (247))
Then, among those who perform prayer, there will be some people who will commit grave innovations, regarding whom the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"Some people will come to me; I will recognize them and they will recognize me, then a barrier will be set up between me and them.
I will say:
'They are of me.'
It will be said to me: 'You do not know what new things they invented in the religion after you.' I will say:
'Distance, distance for the one who changed the religion after me.'"
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Fada'il, Hadith: 5968, 5969 (2290, 2291))
