Sunan Ibn Majah 4306 (Book 37, Hadith 207) #33662
Recognizing Brothers on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ is teaching his companions about the Day of Resurrection and how they will recognize their brothers who have not yet come. He also explains that those who changed after he was gone will be driven away from his Cistern.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ came to a graveyard and greeted (its occupants) with Salam, then he said: "Peace be upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if Allah wills". Then he said: "Would that we could see our brothers". They said: "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?" He said: "You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me. I will reach the Cistern ahead of you". They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?" He said: "If a man has a horse with a blaze on its forehead and white feet, don’t you think that he will recognize it among horses that are deep black in color?" They said: "Of course". He said: "On the Day of Resurrection they will come with radiant faces, hands, and feet, because of the traces of ablution". He said: "I will reach the Cistern ahead of you". Then he said: "Men will be driven away from my Cistern just as stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them: 'Come here!’ But it will be said: 'They changed after you were gone, and they kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: "Be off with you!"
