Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The distance between the two edges of my Hawd (cistern) is as much as the distance from Aylah to Sana'a, which is the distance of one month's journey. The width of this Hawd is equal to its length. There are two channels in it that come from Paradise, made of silver and gold. Its drink (or water) is whiter than milk, sweeter than honey, and colder than ice. By this Hawd, there are as many cups as there are stars in the sky."
