She said, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be at the Hawd (fountain) until I see who among you comes to me, and people will be taken away before me, so I will say: O Lord, ˹they are˺ from me and from my Ummah! Then it will be said: Did you know what they did after you? By Allah, they never ceased turning back on their heels."

Ibn Abu Mulaykah used to say: O Allah, we seek refuge in You from turning back on our heels or being put to trial away from our religion. "Turning back on your heels" means: returning on the heel.

قَالَتْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ حَتَّى أَنْظُرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ مِنْكُمْ، وَسَيُؤْخَذُ نَاسٌ دُونِي، فَأَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ، مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي. فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ شَعَرْتَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ؟ وَاللَّهِ، مَا بَرِحُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ». فَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُفْتَنَ عَنْ دِينِنَا. ﴿أَعْقَابِكُمْ تَنْكِصُونَ﴾ تَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى الْعَقِبِ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be at my Lake-Fount (Kauthar) waiting for whoever will come to me. Then some people will be taken away from me whereupon I will say, 'My followers!' It will be said, 'You do not know they turned Apostates as renegades (deserted their religion).'" (Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "Allah, we seek refuge with You from turning on our heels from the (Islamic) religion and from being put to trial").

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَنَا عَلَى حَوْضِي أَنْتَظِرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِنَاسٍ مِنْ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ لاَ تَدْرِي مَشَوْا عَلَى الْقَهْقَرَى قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُفْتَنَ

My Cistern (is as wide and broad that it requires) a month's journey (to go round it) all, and its sides are equal and its water is whiter than silver, and its odour is more fragrant than the fragrance of musk, and its jugs (placed around it) are like stars in the sky; and he who would drink from it would never feel thirsty after that. Asma', daughter of Abu Bakr said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I would be on the Cistern so that I would be seeing those who would be coming to me from you, but some people would be detained (before reaching me). I would say: My Lord, they are my followers and belong to my Ummah, and it would be said to me: Do you know what they did after you? By Allah, they did not do good after you, and they turned back upon their heels. He (the narrator) said: lbn Abu Mulaika used to say (in supplication): O Allah, I seek refuge with Thee that we should turn back upon our heels or put to any trial about our religion.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَوْضِي مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ وَزَوَايَاهُ سَوَاءٌ وَمَاؤُهُ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْوَرِقِ وَرِيحُهُ أَطْيَبُ مِنَ الْمِسْكِ وَكِيزَانُهُ كَنُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ فَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلاَ يَظْمَأُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا قَالَ وَقَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ مِنْكُمْ وَسَيُؤْخَذُ أُنَاسٌ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ أَمَا شَعَرْتَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَاللَّهِ مَا بَرِحُوا بَعْدَكَ يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ أَنْ نُفْتَنَ عَنْ دِينِنَا

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in the company of his Companions: I would be on the Cistern waiting for those who would be coming to me from amongst you. By Allah, some persons would be prevented from coming to me, and I would say: My Lord, they are my followers and people of my Umma. And He would say,: You don't know what they did after you; they had been constantly turning back on their heels (from their religion).

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ أَنْتَظِرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ مِنْكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَيُقْتَطَعَنَّ دُونِي رِجَالٌ فَلأَقُولَنَّ أَىْ رَبِّ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ مَا زَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "I will be at the Pond (Al-Hawd) waiting for those who come to me." He said, "People will be taken away from me, and I will say, 'O Lord, from me and my people?' It will be said, 'You do not know what they innovated after you, and they turned back on their heels.' Jabir said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'The Pond is as big as a month's journey, its corners are equal to its width, and its containers are like the stars in the sky. It is more fragrant than musk and whiter than milk. Whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ أَنْظُرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَيُؤْخَذُ نَاسٌ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي قَالَ فَيُقَالُ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ مَا بَرِحُوا بَعْدَكَ يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ قَالَ جَابِرٌ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَوْضُ مَسِيرَةُ شَهْرٍ وَزَوَايَاهُ سَوَاءٌ يَعْنِي عَرْضُهُ مِثْلُ طُولِهِ وَكِيزَانُهُ مِثْلُ نُجُومِالسَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ أَطْيَبُ رِيحًا مِنَ الْمِسْكِ وَأَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in the company of his Companions: I would be on the Cistern waiting for those who would be coming to me from amongst you. By Allah, some persons would be prevented from coming to me, and I would say: My Lord, they are my followers and people of my Umma. And He would say,: You don't know what they did after you; they had been constantly turning back on their heels (from their religion). (Using translation from Muslim 2294)

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ أَنْتَظِرُ مَنْ يَرِدُهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْكُمْ فَلَيُقَطَّعَنَّ رِجَالٌ دُونِي فَلَأَقُولَنَّ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَلَيُقَالَنَّ لِي إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ مَا زَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I will be at my pond until I see who among you will come to me. Some people will be prevented from coming to me, and I will say, 'O Lord, my followers, my followers!' It will be said, 'You do not know what they changed after you.' By Allah, they kept reverting back on their heels." Ibn Abi Mulaykah used to say, "O Allah, we seek refuge in You from going back on our heels or changing our religion."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي عَلَى حَوْضِي حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنِّي وَسَيَرِدُ أُنَاسٌ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ شَعَرْتَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَاللهِ مَا زَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ فَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُغِيرَ دِينَنَا»

"إِنِّى عَلَى الْحَوْضِ حتَّى أَنْظُر مَنْ يردُ علىَّ مِنْكُمْ، وسيُؤْخذُ أُناسٌ دُونِى فأَقُولُ: يا رِّب مِنِّى ومن أُمّتِى؟ فيقالُ: هلْ شعرْتَ ما عملُوا بَعْدَكَ؟ واللَّه ما بَرِحُوا بعْدَك يرْجِعُونَ على أَعْقابِهِم".
