Sahih Muslim 2290, 2291a (Book 43, Hadith 31) #13056
The Rewards of Faithfulness

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the rewards of those who remain steadfast in their faith and warns against changing one's religion after the Prophet.

Sahl (b. Sa'd) reported: I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying: I shall go to the Cistern before you and he who comes would drink and he who drinks would never feel thirsty, and there would come to me people whom I would know and who would know me. Then there would be intervention between me and them. Abu Hazim said that Nu'man b. Abu 'Ayyash heard it and I narrated to them this hadith, and said: Is it this that you heard Sahl saying? He said: Yes, and I bear witness to the fact that I heard it from Abu Sa'id Khudri also, but he made this addition that he (the Holy Prophet) would say: They are my followers, and it would be said to him: You do not know what they did after you and I will say to them: Woe to him who changes (his religion) after me.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَهْلاً، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ، عَلَى الْحَوْضِ مَنْ وَرَدَ شَرِبَ وَمَنْ شَرِبَ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا وَلَيَرِدَنَّ عَلَىَّ أَقْوَامٌ أَعْرِفُهُمْ وَيَعْرِفُونِي ثُمَّ يُحَالُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ فَسَمِعَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ وَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا سَمِعْتَ سَهْلاً يَقُولُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ، عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ لَسَمِعْتُهُ يَزِيدُ فَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُمْ مِنِّي ‏.‏ فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا عَمِلُوا بَعْدَكَ ‏.‏ فَأَقُولُ سُحْقًا سُحْقًا لِمَنْ بَدَّلَ بَعْدِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the rewards that await those who remain steadfast in their faith and warns against changing one's religion after the Prophet. It is narrated by Sahl b. Sa'd, Nu'man b. Abu 'Ayyash, and Abu Sa'id Khudri that they heard Allah's Apostle say that he will go to a Cistern before them where anyone who drinks from it will never feel thirsty again and people whom he knows will come to him but there will be an intervention between them so he won't be able to recognize them anymore. He also said that these people are his followers but then it would be said to him "You do not know what they did after you" and he would reply "Woe to him who changes his religion after me". This hadith teaches us about the importance of remaining faithful in our beliefs even when we are no longer around as well as warning us against changing our religion afterwards because it can lead us astray from Allah's path.
