Sunan Ibn Majah 4302 (Book 37, Hadith 203) #33658
The Vastness of the Prophet's Cistern in Jannah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is describing the vastness of his cistern in Jannah and how it is sweeter than honey and whiter than milk. He also mentions that he will recognize those who come to him with radiant faces, hands, and feet due to the traces of ablution.

It was narrated from Hudhaifah that the Messenger of Allah said: "My Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and 'Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern". It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?" He said: "Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you".
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ، سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّ حَوْضِي لأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى عَدَنَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ وَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ لَيْسَتْ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ
