Abu Bakr Zoud – The Hawd (Pond) Of The Prophet
AI: Summary ©
The day of judgment is a time when people are standing on a circular loaf of bread and no hills or valleys. The hold is created by actions of the creator, and length is measured by the distance between the creator and their followers. The holy month is a time when people drink from the blessed hand of the holy god, and people are supposed to stay steadfast on their worship. The importance of following the sun prais and not changing one's worship is emphasized.

And when does the hold come about on
the day of judgment? When does it take
place?
See, this is the scenario.
After the people have been resurrected from their
graves,
trillions upon trillions only Allah
knows they jack them out. This is from
the time of Adam
up until the last person to walk the
face of this earth. They stand on the
plains of the day of judgment,
which is going to be an earth, but
it's different to the earth that we stand
on now. Allah
says,
on the day of judgment, Allah he exchanges
this earth that we're standing on now to
another earth. In the hadith, it says that
it
is
It's like a loaf of bread, a circular
loaf of bread, and it's white. There is
no hills on it, and there's no valleys
on it as well. As a plain, flat,
smooth surface at a land. People stand on
it.
And it is going to be really, really
crowded to the point when Nabi salallahu alaihi
wa sallam says that there is only space
for your 2 feet to stand.
Well, the people are naked on that day
and the sun, as mentioned in the hadith,
That it is away from their heads, the
distance of a meal. Now a meal, there's
2 understandings for it. A meal could mean
1 mile, the distance of 1 mile, and
it also
the second opinion is the more correct that
in the Arabic language,
it refers to the, to the length of
the eye of the needle. So you have
a needle and then you have the eye
of the needle where the string goes through.
That there, the eye of the needle is
called a in the Arabic language. So, that's
a few millimeters.
The sun is above the head of the
creation a few millimeters
And they're all sweating according to what deeds
and they have.
It's hot, it's terrifying, it is horrifying.
No one is talking. Allah
He says,
No one is even moving. Allah
he asks the question in the Quran. Do
you even see for any of them any
movement?
Or do you hear any sound from any
one of them?
Absolute silence. No one dares to speak a
single word.
He says,
that you'll not even hear except You
will not hear a single word or a
single sound
except whispers that they whisper to each other.
Very soft
for just a drop of water to quench
their thirst. It is at that moment,
before the mizam, before the scales come out,
and before the Surah, the people walk on
the Surah to say, oh, this is before
all that.
At that moment, al Hawb, which is a
pond,
and this is for every single nation alongside
with their prophet, will be presented.
For each and every single prophet, there's a
special hope.
The
is different to the whole of Nuhadayasalam.
All the whole of Ibrahim alayhi sallam is
different to the whole of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wasallam.
And every prophet will be standing at his
home,
and his followers go go to his home.
So on the home of Rasool Allah sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, you will not find people
from other nations. You will only find people
from this Ummah of Rasulullah Sallallahu
Alaihi Wasallam. And in the continuation of the
hadith and the Musa Alaihi Wasallam, he says,
and indeed the prophets are going to be
competing to see which one of them will
have the most followers, and the most people
that would arrive to their home. When Nabi
salallahu alaihi wasallam, he says, and I hope
that I am the one with the most
people and the most followers. And in other
words, the prophet
they compete on the day of judgement to
see who has the most followers.
And the more followers, the more people on
the hope, it makes that prophet more pleased
because he has followers
before Allah
And so the event of the hope, it
happens before the mizad, before the salah.
Now where is this how?
We'll speak about this.
We're coming to it. But where is this
how the one day, he said,
He said that between my house and my
mibar, between my house and my pulpit,
there it is a garden from the gardens
of the paradise.
When
they translated and explained this hadith, they said
literally,
you
know,
that area is literally a piece of the
paradise. What that means is that when the
worldly life exists,
it ends when the worldly life ends, that
part doesn't get destroyed. It is like the
missing piece of the puzzle in the paradise.
It'll be lifted from where it is, and
it'll go and connect back to where it
came from, from the paradise. This is what
it means.
Then the prophet he says,
my my pulpit,
it is on my hold. It is on
this pond. Now what does that mean? There
are two meanings for this. Number 1, it
could mean that on the day of judgment,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, he makes a special,
a special pulpit for Rasulullah salallahu alaihi wasalam
and he places it at the top, at
the front of the haud when Nabi salallahu
alaihi wasalam stands on it and he sees
everything that is happening to his nation.
And the other meaning is, and some of
the ulama said this, that the mimbar that
he used to stand on and he used
to deliver his
on, it will be brought on the day
of judgment and it will be placed on
top of the. And he will stand on
it and he will see his nation and
those who come to drink from, from Al
Hawb. How
we as he said this to the Sahaba,
he meant that this member I'm standing on
now that you all see it, it'll come
and it will be resurrected on the day
of judgment. I will stand on it there
and it will be placed on my hold
and I will see everything. When Nabi salallahu
alaihi wa sallam mentioned in the hadith,
once when he stood on the mimbar, he
said,
this is before he died
He said, and I see my hold right
now.
This hadith there is a proof that the
hold already is created. It exists. And on
the day of judgment, it will be presented
before the believers for them to see it
and come towards it. Now what is
and what is? What is the difference between
them? And then what is the relationship between
them? My brothers and sisters in Islam, there
are many a hadith,
authentic a hadith,
that describe the
exactly like the
hold so that they're exactly the same in
their description. The hadith would say,
that the water that is in
is wider than milk,
and the water in the is also wider
than milk. And it's sweeter than honey. And
its fragrance is sweeter than musk. These are
hadith sahih. Now when it comes specifically to
he described
it
by
saying,
He said that
is a river in the paradise
in which its banks
are made of gold. On the other side,
it is made of gold. And in another
hadith, he says that on either sides, there
are tents made from hollow
pearls. Yeah. They're like a huge sized pearl,
and it is hollow from inside and people
live inside, they reside in those pearls. And
then in
the he said,
that the water
of this kofar, it flows over pearls and
precious stones like the ruby and the sapphire
and so on that is underneath it. And
then he
said,
that the the soul that is underneath is
more pure than musk
and it's and it's water is sweeter than
honey, and it's water is also wider than
than milk. This is the description of Al
Kofar.
Well, Haub, this is what al Haub is.
Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he says about
the Haub.
He says,
he says that it is sourced
from Al Koffar.
A sourced from Al Koffar. And he says
clearly this is what it is.
Al Hawb is going to be on the
plains of the day of judgment, on the
earth.
Well, is a river in the paradise
and there is a pipe that is streaming
from
down into Al Hawb. There are 2 pipes.
One is made of gold and the other
is made of silver.
And so the water from Al Koffar, it
streams down these pipes
and it fills the hold on the day
of judgment. And so this is how
the same because it is channeled and it
is fed. It's sourced. Al Hawd Al Hawd
is sourced by Al Hawd Al Hawd Al
Hawd as mentioned in the authentic hadith of
Rasool
Allah
For this is what we understand. And how
old is that which happens on the day
of judgement, on the plain, on the earth?
Well, is that which is up in the
heavens and it's sourced. That's how we understand
the difference between.
The size of now, there are hadith that
mentioned to us the size of
And Nabi salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he says,
And in another narration, he says,
2 authentic narrations. In Nabi he
says, that my hope, the distance of it
is like between the Kaaba and Jerusalem.
Where in the other hadith, he says,
In other words, the length of the hold
is the distance of 1 month for the
rider on a fast horse. It'll take 1
month to go from one side of it
to the other side. And then, Nabi sah
alaihi salami, he said
meaning its lengths
are all the same. What does that make
the how? It makes the hold in a
square shape.
Meaning the hold is a square.
And so going from one corner to the
other is 1 month. And going from one
corner to the other is another month, and
from one corner to the other, and the
four corners and the four edges are all
the same in length. Huge.
When he says, it is full of cups,
and it's full of jugs equal to the
number of stars that you see on a
dark night. And if you go out to
the desert, not here. Here now, you cannot
see. You probably can only see 2, 3
stars because of the light pollution and so
on. I mean, if you go to the
desert,
really far from here, where there is absolutely
no pollution and no light to irritate or
to disturb your vision of the sky,
you would see,
you would see
millions and millions and millions of stars all
costed right next to each other.
And then
he says that a day will come in
which everyone will be drinking from it, and
it will be that crowded and that busy.
What
it also means when Nabi salallahu alaihi wa
sallam says that its cups are equal to
the number of stars.
Some of the they
interpreted this to mean
that the hold itself, it twinkles
like the
stars during the night twinkle. Right? So it
was mentioned as a reference of of,
of how bright it is and how beautiful
correct opinion is to say that there are
many cups for it so that the believers
drink from it. When Nabi sah alaihi salam
says,
anyone who came by
and drank from it, will never ever experience
first ever again in his life. What does
that mean? Meaning, when this person eventually enters
the paradise,
and when he drinks from the rivers of
the paradise, he doesn't drink to quench his
thirst.
Drinking in the paradise would now become purely
a matter of pleasure and enjoyment, and that's
it. Not out of thirst. For Heather, what
is mentioned meant by
And there's something very important to to highlight
on, and that there is no narration even
though this is famous among the people, but
there is no narration
that was reported
that the people will drink from the blessed
hand of Rasulullah
And from that, we understand that it is
wrong when one makes a dua to say
and, provide for us a drink from the
blessed hands of Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
You heed this dua sometimes
they make
There is nothing in the hadith for authentic
narrations to even suggest that
would give the people to drink from his
hand.
They
said that the cups are in the pond
for a reason, and that is so that
the people drink from it. And then it
is not befitting for Rasulullah
to
give each and every single person,
a drink from his hand. Yeah. I mean,
as
for they they,
they actually,
yeah. I mean, they considered
making that kind of
crossing the limits in dua.
Rather, one, when he makes a dua, he
should ask Allah
to grant him permission and the ability to
drink from the without mentioning from the and
so on. Unless there is a narration which
mentioned that there is no narration in that.
How many of us make this dua? There
was they they mentioned that there
was a lady that
each and every single salat, her children would
hear her make this
dua.
Is this a part of your life.
The first it is the first place where
you would actually meet face to face
in the It'll be at the hope. In
fact, when you ask Allah
to grant you a drink from an hope,
meaning ask Allah
to also give you that, yeah, that contact
and that face to face connection with Rasulullah
Now at how the who will drink from
it first? There are hadith that mentioned this
as well. When
basically, in a hadith, he says that the
most pious would drink from it first.
But that is Abu
Bakr.
And
then
from
there,
they will be the first to drink from
it.
Then after that, there is a hadith that
mentions that the people of Yemen and the
he says
that the prophet
would be pushing away crowds of people from
an hope. He pushes away crowds of people,
and he makes way for the people of
Yemen to come closer, and he strikes his
staff on the hold until eventually it gushes
and it bursts in their face, and it
drenches them with the water from it. This
is a specialty that
gave for the people of Yemen. Why why
are the people of the Yemen, the first
to drink from it after
or after
Because the people of Yemen, who who are
they?
And who's the other group?
Al Ansar. Al Ansar originally are people from
Yemen. And also,
these two tribes make up Al Ansar.
When Ansar end up in Madina how did
they end up in Madina?
What happened in Yemen, there was a,
the dam the dam burst, and there was
a huge flood that happened.
Allah recalls and mentions this story in the
Quran.
Right?
It's mentioned in the hadith and in the
in the history of the tariq. Fire exploded,
burst, and it filled the entire land with
water. You couldn't live there anymore.
2 tribes that lived in Yemen picked themselves
up and they took off until they reached
Al Madina. Once they reached Al Madina, they
settled there. Well, yeah. And this is why
they are considered the Ansar,
and this is why the Al Ansar, meaning
they're the ones that supported and aided and
helped Rasulullah
They're the ones that provided for him a
room and a house and a space for
him to come, and an opportunity to to
build his dawah in in in Madinah.
For because of this and and and, the
people of Yemen, they entered Islam without any
war, without any battle, and they aided and
supported the Islam more than anyone else. So
they had this speciality
that they were, Yani, put forth on the
hold before anyone else, and they came after
Yani al Muhaajiri.
This is,
in regards to those who first drink from
it. And then the more pious and pious
after that, until the one least with iman
is the last one to drink from.
And the final question that we answer on
this, and that is who will be turned
away from the haud of Rasool Allah sallahu
alaihi wa sallam? Well, here here there's something
very important to mention.
Number 1, those who left Islam after the
death of Rasool Allah sahu alaihi wa sallam
from the companions.
There are companions that left Islam
after the death of Rasool Allah SWA. They're
the ones that refused to pay zakat,
who fought them and he killed from them
some, And some of them lived, and some
of them made tawba and came back. These
are the first that is mentioned by those
that will be turned away from.
Number 2, the hypocrites.
And they are people that lived in Madinah
at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam, and they witnessed Islam. But internally, they
hid their
and their disbelief, and they again would be
resurrected on the day of judgment. And they're
awarded, and they turned away from.
And number 3,
those who innovated in the religion,
whether they innovated
in the matters of belief, in matters,
or whether they innovated in matters of worship.
Whether in this or in that, these are
considered on the day of judgment innovators
and they are removed from the and they
turned away from the
Oh, this
is why my brothers and sisters in Islam,
we should be careful.
Yeah. When we say that we're Muslims
and we follow you know, being steadfast upon
the deen of Allah
is not just about praying and fasting and
salat and zakat. It's not just about that.
Being steadfast upon the deen of
involves three things.
Being steadfast in matters
of so that you do not alter and
you do not change anything of that and
you understand and you take your aqeedah from
the Quran and sunnah. And, Yeah. And from
the explanation of the salaf, which is the
first three generations that came after Rasulullah
Number 1. That's that that means we're steadfast
in the deen. Number 2, in matters of
worship as well. So you remain consistent and
committed on your salat, in fasting,
with if you're able to, and,
and and the rest of the good deeds
that we're taught to do. And number 3,
steadfast upon
which is character
and morals and manners that the Muslim is
supposed to have. And why do we mention
this?
Steadfastness
must be in these three things. And I'll
prove to you how this is. When the
prophet
and listen, this is the very important point
that would actually prove
what was mentioned by
When the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam described
al Khawarij.
Who are al Khawarij?
Al Khawarij are a sect
that innovated in their belief.
When Nabi salallahu alaihi wasallam described the
to us Sahaba, not to be a new.
And he described them to the Sahaba, He
said to the Sahaba,
He said to the sahabah
that you people would belittle your salat
in comparison to the salat of the Hawarij,
and you would belittle your fasting in comparison
to the fasting of
Al
Hawaris? Is saying, so
when you when you compare the Sahabi to
a Hawaris person,
then the this person of Al Hawari, he
prays a lot more than the Sahabi.
And he fasts much more than the Sahabi.
And he reads Quran much more than Musahabi.
So this guy has got it good in
his worship. Except that when the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam described them, he
said, that they're the dogs of the hellfire.
Why? This teaches you that it wasn't only
a matter of remaining steadfast on your worship.
Your and your belief should have been steadfast
and right as well, and your character should
have been steadfast and right as well.
This hadith is very important, and it teaches
us
that still ended up in jahannam
because the issue isn't just doing righteous actions.
It was about a methodology that you are
supposed to adopt and a sunnah that you
are supposed to follow word for word.
