"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".

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.  

مسلم:٢٤٧aحَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ مَرْوَانَ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

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

My people would come to me on the Cistern and I would drive away persons (from it) just as a person drives away other people's camels from his camels. They (the hearers) said: Apostle of Allah, would you recognize us? He replied: Yea, you would have a mark which other people will not have. You would come to me with a white blaze on your foreheads and white marks on your feet because of the traces of ablution. A group among you would be prevented from coming to me, and they would not meet me, and I would say: O my Lord, they are my companions. Upon this an angel would reply to me saying: Do you know what these people did after you.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَرِدُ عَلَىَّ أُمَّتِي الْحَوْضَ وَأَنَا أَذُودُ النَّاسَ عَنْهُ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ إِبِلَ الرَّجُلِ عَنْ إِبِلِهِ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ لَكُمْ سِيمَا لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ وَلَيُصَدَّنَّ عَنِّي طَائِفَةٌ مِنْكُمْ فَلاَ يَصِلُونَ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ هَؤُلاَءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي فَيُجِيبُنِي مَلَكٌ فَيَقُولُ وَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ

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).
