19. To have Faith in the Pool (Hawd) of Allaah's Messenger.

19. To have Faith in the Pool (Hawd) of Allaah’s Messenger.

To have Faith in the pool (Hawd) of Allaah’s Messenger. Every Prophet has a Pool, except Saalih (alayhi asalam) because his Pool was the udder of his she-camel[1].

1. The explainer of at-Tahaawiyyah said, The ahadeeth reported about the Pool reach the level of mutawaatir, being reported by more than 30 Companions.

Anas Ibn Maalik [radi’Allaahu anhu] reports that Allaah’s Messenger said, the size of my Pool is like what is between Jerusalem and Sanaa in Yemen and it has drinking cups like the number of stars in the sky. [Reported by al-Bukhaaree Eng. trans8/38/no.582, Ahmad & at-Tirmidhee].

Samurah reports that Allaah’s Messenger said, there will be a Pool for every Prophet. They vie with regards to who has the greater number of people coming to it. I hope from Allaah that I will have the greater number. [Reported by at-Tirmidhee & others. Shaykh al-Albaanee declared it saheeh in as-saheehah no.1 1589]

*As regards the exception quoted for Saalih [alayhi asalam], the narrations about that are not authentic.
