An Arabi came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him, "What is this Pond you speak of?"He replied, "It stretches as far as the distance from al-Bayda to Busra, then Allah will extend it for me by adding a tributary, so that no human being among those created will know where its two ends are."Umar bin Khattab said, "Allahu Akbar."Then he said, "As for the Pond, the poor among the Muhajirun who are killed in the way of Allah and who die in the way of Allah
will crowd around it, and I hope that Allah
will lead me to that tributary so I may drink from it."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "My Lord
has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand of my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning. Then each one of the thousand will intercede for seventy thousand more. Then He will scoop with both His hands three handfuls for me," and he said "Allahu Akbar" once.Then he said, "As for the first seventy thousand, Allah
will allow them to intercede for their fathers, their sons, and their kinsfolk, and I hope that Allah
will place me in one of the final handfuls."
جاء أعرابي إلى رسول الله ﷺ فقال له: ما حوض الذي تحدث عنه؟ قال: هو كما بين البيضاء إلى بصرى، ثم يمدني الله عز وجل فيه بكراع، فلا يدري بشر ممن خلق اين طرفاه قال: فكبر عمر بن الخطاب. فقال: أما الحوض فيزدحم عليه فقراء المهاجرين الذين يقتلون في سبيل الله، ويموتون في سبيل الله عز وجل، وأرجو أن يوردني الله عز وجل الكراع فأشرب منه فقال رسول الله ﷺ: إن ربي عز وجل وعدني أن يدخل الجنة من أمتي سبعين ألفا بغير حساب، ثم يشفع كل ألف بسبعين ألف، ثم يحتي لي بكفيه ثلاث حثيات، وكبر- مرفقال: إن السبعين الألف الأولين يشفعهم الله عز وجل في آبائهم وأبنائهم وعشائرهم، وأرجو أن. يجعلني الله عز وجل في أحد الحثيات الأواخر.
Fasawi narrated it in his Tarikh (2/341-342), and Tabarani in al-Kabir (17/126-127), both through Abu Tuba, who said, Muawiya bin Salam narrated to us, from Zayd bin Salam, that he heard Abu Salam say, Amir bin Zayd Bakali narrated to me that he heard Utba bin Abd Sulami say, and he related it.Ahmad (17642) and Ibn Hibban (6450, 7414) narrated it through another route from Amir bin Zayd Bakali, that he heard Utba bin Abd Sulami say, and he related it in a shortened form.Its chain of transmission is hasan on account of Amir bin Zayd Bakali. Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy narrators, while Husayni said in al-Ikmal, "He is not well known." Hafiz responded to this in al-Tajil by saying, "Rather, he is known," then spoke at length about him. The conclusion is that his hadith is hasan.
