Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once saying from this pulpit: "What is the matter with people who go around saying that the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) kinship will not benefit people? By Allah! My kinship will remain connected in both this world and the Hereafter. And O people! I will wait for you at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar. When you reach there, one man will say, 'O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so,' and another will say, 'I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so.' I will reply to them, 'I have recognized your lineage, but after me, you invented innovations in the religion and turned back on your heels.'"
