"إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلقَونَ بَعْدِى أثرةً ، فاصبروا حتى تلقونِى غدًا عَلى الحَوْضِ".
Command to show patience when rights are taken away during the time of severe trials
A man from the Ansar said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will you appoint me as you have appointed so-and-so?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "After me, you will see others given preference over you; so be patient till you meet me at the Ḥawḍ (the Basin) ˹on the Day of Resurrection˺.
أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلاَ تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي كَمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلاَنًا؟ قَالَ: «سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ۔»
The Prophet ﷺ said to the Ansar, "After me you will see others given preference to you; so be patient till you meet me, and your promised place (of meeting) will be the Tank (i.e. Lake of Kauthar).
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِلأَنْصَارِ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي وَمَوْعِدُكُمُ الْحَوْضُ
"A man from Ansar said, 'O Messenger of Allah! You appointed so-and-so and did not appoint me. So, the Prophet ﷺ said, 'After me you will see preferential treatment, so be patient till you meet me at Al-Hawd."'
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلاَنًا وَلَمْ تَسْتَعْمِلْنِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ
The Prophet ﷺ said to the Ansar, "After me you will see others given preference to you; so be patient till you meet me, and your promised place (of meeting) will be the Tank (i.e. Lake of Kauthar). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3793)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي فَمَوْعِدُكُمُ الْحَوْضُ
Will you not appoint me governor as you have appointed so and so? He (the Messenger of Allah) said: You will surely come across preferential treatment after me, so you should be patient until you meet me at the Cistern (Haud-i-Kauthar). (Using translation from Muslim 1845a)
رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا تَسْتَعْمِلُنِي كَمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَ فُلَانًا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي غَدًا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say to the Ansar, "Indeed, you will meet me after me at the pool." They said, "So what do you command us?" He said, "Be patient until you meet me at the pool."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لِلْأَنْصَارِ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ اصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will see divisions after me." They asked, "What do you command us to do?" He said, "Be patient until you meet me at the pool."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً» قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ «اصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلْقَوْنِي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ»
"إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرونَ بَعْدِى أثَرَةً فاصْبِرُوا حَتَّى تَلقَوْنِى عَلَى الحَوْضِ".
