Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْخَبَائِرِيِّ وَأَبِي الْيَمَانِ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ فَقَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَخْنَ السُّلَمِيُّ وَاللَّهِ مَا أُولَئِكَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ إِلَّا كَالذُّبَابِ الْأَصْهَبِ فِي الذِّبَّانِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ وَعَدَنِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَزَادَنِي ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ قَالَ فَمَا سِعَةُ حَوْضِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَمَا بَيْنَ عَدَنَ إِلَى عُمَانَ وَأَوْسَعَ وَأَوْسَعَ يُشِيرُ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ فِيهِ مَثْعَبَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ قَالَ فَمَا حَوْضُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنْ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مَذَاقَةً مِنْ الْعَسَلِ وَأَطْيَبُ رَائِحَةً مِنْ الْمِسْكِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا وَلَمْ يَسْوَدَّ وَجْهُهُ أَبَدًا.
English Translation
Isam ibn Khalid told us: Safwan ibn Amr told me, from Sulaym ibn Amir al-Khaba'iri and Abu al-Yaman al-Hawzani, from Abu Umamah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my nation into Paradise without reckoning. Yazid ibn al-Akhnas al-Sulami said: By Allah, those are but like a single tawny fly among the flies in your nation. So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: My Lord, Mighty and Majestic, has promised me seventy thousand, with each thousand seventy thousand more, and He added for me three handfuls. He said: How wide is your basin, O Prophet of Allah? He said: As wide as what is between Aden and Oman, and wider, and wider — gesturing with his hand. He said: In it are two spouts of gold and silver. He said: What is your basin like, O Prophet of Allah? He said: Whiter than milk, sweeter in taste than honey, and finer in fragrance than musk. Whoever drinks from it will never thirst thereafter, and his face will never be blackened.
