[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, I am leaving a legacy for you, and you will come to me at the Pond (of Kawthar). Its width is like the distance between Sana'a and Busra, and it contains the number of stars in the heavens made from a cup of gold and silver. So, see how you will succeed me in the two weighty matters?" A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the two weighty matters?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The greater one is the Book of Allah, it is a rope that extends between the hand of Allah and your hands, so hold onto it and you will never go astray. And the lesser one is my family, the people of my household, and they will not separate until they meet me at the Pond." I asked for them (the two weighty matters), so do not precede them, lest you be destroyed, and do not teach them, for verily, they are more knowledgeable than you."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَكُمْ فَرَطٌ وَإِنَّكُمْ وَارِدُونَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ عَرْضُهُ مَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ إِلَى بُصْرَى فِيهِ عَدَدُ الْكَوَاكِبِ مِنْ قِدْحَانِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونِي فِي الثَّقَلَيْنِ؟» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الثَّقَلَانِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْأَكْبَرُ كِتَابُ اللهِ سَبَبٌ طَرَفُهُ بِيَدِ اللهِ وَطَرَفُهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ لَنْ تَزَالُوا وَلَنْ تَضِلُّوا وَالْأَصْغَرُ عِتْرَتِي وَإِنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ وَسَأَلْتُ لَهُمَا ذَاكَ رَبِّي فَلَا تَقْدُمُوهُمَا فَتَهْلِكُوا وَلَا تُعَلِّمُوهُمَا؛ فَإِنَّهُمَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْكُمْ»
