"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".
She said, the Prophet ﷺ said, "I will be at the Hawd (fountain) until I see who among you comes to me, and people will be taken away before me, so I will say: O Lord, ˹they are˺ from me and from my Ummah! Then it will be said: Did you know what they did after you? By Allah, they never ceased turning back on their heels."
Ibn Abu Mulaykah used to say: O Allah, we seek refuge in You from turning back on our heels or being put to trial away from our religion. "Turning back on your heels" means: returning on the heel.
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
I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say in the company of his Companions: I would be on the Cistern waiting for those who would be coming to me from amongst you. By Allah, some persons would be prevented from coming to me, and I would say: My Lord, they are my followers and people of my Umma. And He would say,: You don't know what they did after you; they had been constantly turning back on their heels (from their religion).
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَىْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنِّي عَلَى الْحَوْضِ أَنْتَظِرُ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَىَّ مِنْكُمْ فَوَاللَّهِ لَيُقْتَطَعَنَّ دُونِي رِجَالٌ فَلأَقُولَنَّ أَىْ رَبِّ مِنِّي وَمِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ مَا زَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ
[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."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنِّي عَلَى حَوْضِي حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنِّي وَسَيَرِدُ أُنَاسٌ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيَقُولُ شَعَرْتَ مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَاللهِ مَا زَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ فَكَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَرْجِعَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا أَوْ نُغِيرَ دِينَنَا»
