حَدَّثَنَا
عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ , حَدَّثَنِي
صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو , عَنْ
سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْخَبَائِرِيِّ ,
وَأَبِي الْيَمَانِ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ , عَنْ
أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ " , فَقَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَخْنسَ السُّلَمِيُّ : وَاللَّهِ مَا أُولَئِكَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا كَالذُّبَابِ الْأَصْهَبِ فِي الذِّبَّانِ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَعَدَنِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا , وَزَادَنِي ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ " , قَالَ : فَمَا سِعَةُ حَوْضِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ :
" كَمَا بَيْنَ عَدَنَ إِلَى عُمَانَ , وَأَوْسَعَ , وَأَوْسَعَ " يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ , قَالَ : " فِيهِ مَثْعَبَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ , وَفِضَّةٍ " , قَالَ : فَمَا حَوْضُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ , وَأَحْلَى مَذَاقَةً مِنَ الْعَسَلِ , وَأَطْيَبُ رَائِحَةً مِنَ الْمِسْكِ , مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا , وَلَمْ يَسْوَدَّ وَجْهُهُ أَبَدًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand people from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning. Yazid bin Akhnas (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this and said, "By Allah! In your Ummah, these will be as few as the red fly among flies." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord has promised me seventy thousand in such a way that with every thousand there will be seventy thousand, and on top of that, there will be a threefold increase. Yazid bin Akhnas (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What will be the width of your Hawd (cistern)?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As much as the distance between Aden and Oman, or even double that, into which water will flow from two spouts of gold and silver. He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What will the water of your Hawd be like?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and more fragrant than musk. Whoever drinks its water once will never feel thirsty again, and the color of his face will never turn dark.
