حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
الْعَلَاءَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَنَّهُ أَتَى إِلَى الْمَقْبَرَةِ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَقْبَرَةِ ، فَقَالَ : " سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَدِدْتُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا إِخْوَانَنَا " ، قَالَ : فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَسْنَا بِإِخْوَانِكَ ؟ قَالَ : " بَلْ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي ، وَإِخْوَانِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بَعْدُ ، وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ " ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ بَعْدُ ؟ قَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ لَهُ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ خَيْلٍ بُهْمٍ دُهْمٍ ، أَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُهَا ؟ " ، قَالُوا : بَلَى ، قَالَ : " فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ ، وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ " ، ثُمَّ قَالَ :
" أَلَا لَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ ، أُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمَّ ، فَيُقَالُ : إِنَّهُمْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ ، فَأَقُولُ : سُحْقًا سُحْقًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the graveyard. Upon reaching there, he greeted the inhabitants of the graves and said, "Peace be upon you, O dwellers of the abode of the believers! InshaAllah, we too shall join you." Then he said, "I wish that we could see our brothers." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are my companions; my brothers are those who have not yet come, and I will be waiting for them at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how will you recognize those of your followers who have not yet come?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if a man has a horse with a white, radiant forehead among black horses, will he not recognize his horse?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Why not!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then those people will also come on the Day of Resurrection with radiant, white foreheads due to the effects of ablution, and I will be waiting for them at the Hawd of Kawthar." Then he said, "Remember, some people among you will be driven away from my Hawd just as a lost camel is chased away. I will call out to them, 'Come here!' But it will be said, 'They changed the religion after you.' So I will say, 'Away with them, away with them!'"
