the watering
place of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from
which he will give to the people of his community on the day of
rising.)" They asked him, "Messenger of Allah! How will you recognise
those of your community who come after you?"
He said,
"Doesn't a man who has horses with white legs and white blazes on
their foreheads among totally black horses recognise which ones are
his own?" They said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah." He went on,
"Even so will they come on the day of rising with white marks on their
foreheads, hands and feet from wudu, and I will precede them to the
Hawd. Some men will be driven away from the Hawd as if they were
straying camels and I shall call out to them, 'Will you not come? Will
you not come? Will you not come?' and someone will say, 'They changed
things after you,' so I shall say, 'Then away with them, away with
them, away with them!' "
