and for both of them, from Ibn Masʿūd, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "I will precede you to the Basin, and men from my nation will be brought up to me, until when I reach out to give them [water], they will be taken away from me. I will say: 'O Lord, my companions.' It will be said: 'You do not know what they innovated after you.'" and for both of them, from Abū Hurayrah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said: "I wish we could see our brothers." They said: "Are we not your brothers, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "You are my companions, and my brothers are those who have not yet come." They said: "How will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?" He said: "Do you see if a man had horses with white blazes and forelocks among horses that are all black, would he not recognize his horses?" They said: "Indeed." He said: "They will come with white blazes and forelocks from the effects of ablution. And I will precede them to the Basin. Beware, men will be driven away from my Basin on the Day of Resurrection as a stray camel is driven away. I will call to them: 'Come here.' It will be said: 'They changed after you.' So I will say: 'Away, away.'" and for al-Bukhārī: "While I was standing, a group appeared, and when I recognized them and they recognized me, a man came out between me and them and said: 'Come.' I said: 'Where?' He said: 'To the Fire, by Allāh.' I said: 'What is their condition?' He said: 'They turned back on their heels after you.' Then another group appeared—he mentioned similarly—and he said: 'I do not see any of them escaping except like the stray camels.'" and for both of them in the ḥadīth of Ibn ʿAbbās (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhumā): "I will say as the righteous servant said: 'And I was a witness over them while I dwelt among them; but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness over all things.'" (Sūrah al-Māʾidah, 5:117)
ولهما عن ابن مسعود قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: "أنا فرطكم على الحوض، وليرفعن إلي رجال من أمتي، حتى إذا أهويت لأناولهم. احتجبوا دوني، فأقول: أي رب أصحابي. فيقال: إنك لا تدري ما أحدثوا بعدك". ولهما عن أبي هريرة ﵁ أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: "وددت أنا قد رأينا إخواننا. قالوا: أو لسنا إخوانك يا رسول الله؟ قال: أنتم أصحابي، وإخواني الذين لم يأتوا بعد. قالوا: فكيف تعرف من لم يأت بعد من أمتك؟ قال: أرأيتم لو أن رجلا له خيل غرا محجلة بين ظهراني خيل دهم بهم ألا يعرف خيله؟ قالوا: بلى. قال: فإنهم يأتون غرا محجلين من الوضوء. وأنا فرطهم على الحوض. ألا ليذادن رجال يوم القيامة عن حوضي كما يذاد البعير الضال. أناديهم: ألا هلم. فيقال: إنهم بدلوا بعدك. فأقول: سحقا سحقا". وللبخاري: "بينما أنا قائم إذا زمرة حتى إذا عرفتهم وعرفوني خرج رجل من بيني وبينهم فقال: هلم فقلت أين؟ قال: إلى النار والله. قلت: وما شأنهم؟ قال: إنهم ارتدوا بعدك على أدبارهم القهقرى. ثم إذا زمرة - فذكر مثله – قال: فلا أراه يخلص منهم إلا مثل همل النعم". ولهما في حديث ابن عباس ﵄: "فأقول كما قال العبد الصالح: ﴿وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيداً مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ﴾.
