Abu Subrah says that Ubaidullah bin Ziyad used to ask various people about the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) Pond, and even though he had already asked this question to Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), Aidh bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), and another companion (may Allah be pleased with him), he still denied the Hawd al-Kawthar. One day I said to him,“I will narrate to you such a hadith in which there is complete healing for this issue. Once your father gave me some wealth and sent me to Sayyiduna Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). I met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrated to me a hadith which he himself had heard from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He dictated that hadith to me, and I wrote it down with my own hand without omitting or adding a single letter.”He narrated to me this hadith: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said,“Allah Almighty does not like any kind of indecency, whether deliberate or unintentional. And the Hour will not be established until indecency becomes widespread everywhere, severing of ties of kinship, wrongdoing, and bad neighbors become common, and until the treacherous is considered trustworthy and the trustworthy is considered treacherous.”And he said,“Remember, the place of your appointment is my Pond, whose length and width are equal, that is, from Aylah to Makkah Mukarramah, which is about a month’s journey. Its drinking vessels will be as numerous as the stars. Its water will be whiter than silver. Whoever drinks from it will never feel thirsty again.”Upon hearing this hadith, Ubaidullah bin Ziyad said,“I have not heard a stronger hadith about the Hawd al-Kawthar than this until now.”Thus, he affirmed it and kept that scroll with him.
