Sunan Ibn Majah

that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "My Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?" He said: "Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you."

"Umar bin Abdul-Aziz sent for me and I came to him upon the riding animal prepared for swift mail delivery. When I came to him, he said: We have caused you some trouble O Abu Sallam. He said: Yes, by Allah, O Commander of the Believers! He said: By Allah, we did not want to cause you any hardship, but there is a Hadith which I have heard that you narrate from Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (saw), concerning the Cistern, and I wanted to hear it directly from you. He said: "I said: Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (saw), told me that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "My Cistern is (wider than) the distance between Ailah and Aden. It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and its cups are as many as the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it will never feel thirst again. The first ones who come to drink from it will be the poor Muhajirin, with dirty clothes and disheveled hair, who do not marry refined women and for whom no doors are opened." Umar wept until his beard became wet, then he said: But I have married refined women and doors have been opened for me. Certainly I will not wash the clothes that are on my body until they become dirt, and I will not comb my hair until it becomes disheveled."

that the Prophet (saw) came to a graveyard and greeted (its occupants) with Salam, then he said: "Peace be upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if Allah wills." Then he said: "Would that we could see our brothers." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?" He said: "You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me. I will reach the Cistern ahead of you." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?" He said: "If a man has a horse with a blaze on its forehead and white feet, dont you think that he will recognize it among horses that are deep black in color?" They said: "Of course." He said: "On the Day of Resurrection they will come with radiant faces, hands, and feet, because of the traces of ablution." He said: "I will reach the Cistern ahead of you." Then he said: "Men will be driven away from my Cistern just as stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them: Come here! But it will be said: They changed after you were gone, and they kept turning on their heels. So I will say: "Be off with you!"

that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "As for the people of Hell, who are its people (i.e., its permanent residents), they will neither die nor live therein. But there are some people who will be punished with fire because of their sins, whom it will kill, then when they have become like coal, permission will be granted for intercession for them. They will be brought, group by group, and scattered on the banks of the rivers of Paradise. It will be said: O people of Paradise, pour water on them. Then they will grow like seeds carried by a flood (i.e., quickly)." A man among the people said: It is as if the Messenger of Allah (saw) has been in the desert."

that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "I was given the choice between being admitted to Paradise, and I chose intercession, because it is more general and more sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the impure sinners."
