It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The two sons of Mulaykah came, and both of them were from the Ansar. They said: "O Messenger of Allah! Our mother used to look after her husband and honour the guest, but in the Days of Ignorance she buried (her daughter) alive; so where is our mother (in what abode)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your mother is in the Fire." So they both stood up, and this weighed very heavily upon them. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called them and they came back, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, my mother too is with your mother." Then a hypocrite from among the people said to me (Abdullah bin Mas'ud): "This one (the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) could avail his mother nothing, just as the sons of Mulaykah could avail their mother nothing, even though we follow at his heels." Then a young man of the Ansar, and I never saw anyone who asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) more questions than him, said: "O Messenger of Allah! Are your parents also in the Fire?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have not asked my Lord any such request concerning them that He would grant me regarding them; and on that Day (the Day of Resurrection) I will indeed stand in the Praised Station." The narrator said: The hypocrite said to the young Ansari: "Ask him: What is the Praised Station?" He said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the Praised Station?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On that Day Allah Almighty will descend upon His Kursi, and it (the Kursi) will creak because of Him just as a camel saddle creaks from its tightness; and its (the Kursi's) breadth is equal to the distance between the heavens and the earth. And you will be brought naked, barefoot and uncircumcised. The first to be clothed will be Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Allah Almighty will say: Clothe My Khalil (intimate friend) in two white sheets from the garments of Paradise. Then I will be clothed after him, and I will stand at the right of Allah Almighty in a station for which the first and the last will envy me; and a river will be made to flow for me from al-Kawthar to my Pond." The narrator said: The hypocrite began to say: "I have never heard the like of today (such a strange thing); rarely does a river flow except over clay or pebbles. Ask him: Over what will that river flow?" (He asked, and) he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Over a mud of musk and pebbles." The narrator said: The hypocrite began to say: "I have never heard the like of today; rarely does a river flow without having plants on it." (He asked, and) he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes (it will have plants)." He asked: "What will they be?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Branches of gold." The narrator said: The hypocrite began to say: "I have never heard the like of today; by Allah, no branch ever grows without having some fruit. Ask him: Will those branches have fruits?" (He asked, and) he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, pearls and jewels." The narrator said: The hypocrite began to say: "I have never heard the like of today; ask him about the drink of the Pond." So the Ansari said: "O Messenger of Allah! What will the drink of the Pond be like?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Whoever Allah Almighty gives a single drink from it will never be thirsty after it, and whoever He deprives of it will never have his thirst quenched after it." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it; and Uthman bin Umayr is Abu al-Yaqzan.
