Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The width of my Lake-Fount is equal to the distance between Aila (a town in Sham) and Sana' (the capital of Yemen) and it has as many (numerous) jugs as the number of stars of the sky."  

البخاري:٦٥٨٠حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ (إِنَّ قَدْرَ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ وَصَنْعَاءَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَإِنَّ فِيهِ مِنَ الأَبَارِيقِ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ)  

muslim:2303aḤarmalah b. Yaḥyá > Ibn Wahb > Yūnus > Ibn Shihāb

My Cistern would be as extensive as the distance between Aila and San'a, of Yemen, and there would be in it jugs like stars in the sky.  

مسلم:٢٣٠٣aوَحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ

أَنَّحَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَدْرُ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ وَصَنْعَاءَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَإِنَّ فِيهِ مِنَ الأَبَارِيقِ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ»: أَرَادَ بِهِ صَنْعَاءَ الْيَمَنِ دُونَ صَنْعَاءَ الشَّامِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ وَإِنَّ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَبَارِيقِ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ»
