The Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be standing at the Lake-Fount so that I will see whom among you will come to me; and some people will be taken away from me, and I will say, 'O Lord, (they are) from me and from my followers.' Then it will be said, 'Did you notice what they did after you? By Allah, they kept on turning on their heels (turned as renegades).' " The sub-narrator, Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "O Allah, we seek refuge with You from turning on our heels, or being put to trial in our religion."

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ 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").  

البخاري:٧٠٤٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ قَالَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ

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.

[Machine] 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."

"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".
