Will you not appoint me governor as you have appointed so and so? He (the Messenger of Allah) said: You will surely come across preferential treatment after me, so you should be patient until you meet me at the Cistern (Haud-i-Kauthar). (Using translation from Muslim 1845a)
رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي كَمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلَانًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي غَدًا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ
