حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْعَمِّيُّ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مَا آنِيَةُ الْحَوْضِ ؟ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَكَوَاكِبِهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ مُصْحِيَةٍ مِنْ آنِيَةِ الْجَنَّةِ ، مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهَا شَرْبَةً لَمْ يَظْمَأْ آخِرَ مَا عَلَيْهِ ، عَرْضُهُ مِثْلُ طُولِهِ مَا بَيْنَ عُمَانَ إِلَى أَيْلَةَ ، مَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ " , قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وفي الباب عن حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَأَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَحَارِثَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، وَالْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، وَرُوِي عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ الْكُوفَةِ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ " .
´Abu Dharr narrated:` "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What about the vessels of the Hawd?' He said: 'By the one in Whose Hand is my soul! Its vessels number more than the stars of the heavens and the planets on a clear dark night. (They are) among the vessels of Paradise, whoever drinks from them, he will never be thirsty again. Its longest breadth is the same as its length, like that which is between 'Amman to Aylah, its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.'" Another chain reports a similar narration. It has been reported from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet SAW said: "My Hawd (covers a distance) like what is between Kufah to the Black Stone."

Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
It is a strong and religious obligation (fard) upon the wealthy that they should actively participate in religious works and, on occasions of collective and national interests, contribute generously according to their means. Otherwise, they will face failure and loss in both this world and the Hereafter. Moreover, even in this world, they will become targets of people's hatred and anger.
