It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on this pulpit: "What is the matter with people who go around saying that the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) kinship will not benefit people? By Allah, my kinship will remain great in both this world and the Hereafter. And O people! I will be waiting for you at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar."
