ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ الْعَلَامَةَ الَّتِي ذَكَرْنَاهَا هِيَ لِأُمَّةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ دُونَ غَيْرِهَا مِنْ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ

Verily Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: My Cistern has its dimensions wider than the distance between Aila and Aden, and its water is whiter than ice and sweeter than the honey diluted with milk, and its cups are more numerous than the numbers of the stars. Verily I shall prevent the (faithless) people therefrom just as a man prevents the camels of the people from his fountain. They said: Messenger of Allah, will you recognise us on that day? He said: Yes, you will have distinctive marks which nobody among the peoples (except you) will have; you would come to me with blazing forehead and bright hands and feet on account of the traces of ablution.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ حَوْضِي أَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ مِنْ عَدَنٍ لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ بِاللَّبَنِ وَلآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ وَإِنِّي لأَصُدُّ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ كَمَا يَصُدُّ الرَّجُلُ إِبِلَ النَّاسِ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَكُمْ سِيمَا لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ مِنَ الأُمَمِ تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: My Cistern is bigger than the space between Aila and Aden. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I will drive away persons (from it) just as a person drives away unknown camels from his cistern. They (the companions) said: Messenger of Allah, would you recognise us? He said: Yes, you would come to me with white faces, and white hands and feet on account of the traces of ablution. None but you would have (this mark).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ حَوْضِي لأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ مِنْ عَدَنٍ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ  

“My Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and ‘Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?” He said: “Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you.”  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ حَوْضِي لأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى عَدَنَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ وَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ  

"إِنَّ حَوْضِى لأَبعدُ من أَيلَة إِلى عدن، والذى نفسى بيده لآنِيَتُه أَكثَرُ من عَدَدِ نجومِ السماءِ، ولَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بياضًا من اللبنِ، وأحَلْى من العسلِ والذى نفسى بِيَدهِ إِنى لأَذُودُ عنه الرجال كما يذودُ الرجلُ الإِبلَ الغريبة عن حوضِه، قَالُوا: يا رسولَ اللَّهِ، وَتَعْرِفُنَا قال نعم، تَردُونَ علَىَّ الحوض غُرَّا مُحَجَّلِينَ من آثارِ الْوُضُوءِ ليسَت لأَحدٍ غيرِكم".  

"إِنَّ حَوْضِى أَبعدُ من أَيْلَة من عَدَنٍ، لَهُو أَشَدُّ بياضًا منَ الثَّلْجِ، وأَحْلَى منَ الْعَسَلِ بالَّلبنِ، ولآنيتُهُ أَكْثَرُ منْ عددِ النُّجُومِ، وإِنى لأَصُدُّ النَّاسَ عنه كَمَا يَصُدُّ الرجُلُ إِبلَ النَّاسِ عن حَوْضِه، قالوا: يا رسول اللَّه أَتَعْرِفُنَا يوْمَئِذِ؟ قال: نعم لكم سيما لَيْسَتْ لأَحدٍ منَ الأُمَمِ، تَرِدونَ علىَّ غُرًّا محَجَّلِينَ مَنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ".
