Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My cistern (Hawd) will be as large as the distance of a month's journey. Its water will be whiter than milk and its fragrance will be better than musk, and its cups will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it once will never feel thirsty again (in the Plain of Resurrection)."

Narrated Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I will be at the Hawd (the Pond) and I will be watching to see who among you comes to me. Then some people will be separated from me. I will say, "O my Lord! These are my people and members of my Ummah." It will be said to me, "Do you know what they did after you? By Allah, they kept turning back on their heels (i.e., they reverted from Islam)." Ibn Abi Mulaykah (who narrates this hadith from Asma) used to say: O Allah! We seek refuge with You from turning back on our heels (from the religion) or being put to trial regarding our religion.

Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs of the Battle of Uhud eight years later, that is, in the eighth year, as if he was bidding farewell to both the living and the dead. After that, he ascended the pulpit and said, "I am preceding you, and I will be a witness over you, and you will meet me at the Hawd (the Pond of Kawthar) on the Day of Resurrection. Even now, I am looking at my Hawd from this place. I have no fear regarding you that you will commit shirk (associate partners with Allah), but I do fear that you will compete with one another for the world."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I will reach the Hawd (the Pond) before you, and some people from among you will be brought before me, then they will be turned away from me. So I will say, "O my Lord! These are my companions." But it will be said to me, "You do not know what new things they invented in the religion after you."

Hazrat Haritha bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (peace be upon him) mentioned the Hawd (the Pond) and said: (Its length is) as much as the distance between Madinah and Sana'a.

(Hearing this) Hazrat Mistawrid said (to Hazrat Haritha bin Wahb), "Have you not heard the narration about the vessels?" He replied, "No." Mistawrid said, "In it, the vessels (for drinking) will appear just as the stars appear in the sky." (That is, they will be countless and shining.)

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "My cistern will be before you, and it is as large as the distance between Jarba and Adhruh."

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! (On the Day of Resurrection) I will drive away some people from my cistern just as stray camels are driven away from the cistern.

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The length of my cistern will be as great as the distance between Ayla and the city of Sana'a in Yemen, and there will be as many cups there as the number of stars in the sky."

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some of my companions will be brought to me at the Pond, and I will recognize them, but then they will be taken away from me. I will say, 'These are my companions!' But it will be said to me, 'You do not know what new things they invented after you.'" (This refers to apostates, hypocrites, and innovators.)
