Abu Sallam Hubshi narrated: Umar ibn Abdul Aziz sent for me and I mounted a mule (and went to him) . When I came to him, I said, “O Amir mu-Muminin, the ride was very tiring for me.” He said, ‘O Abu Sallam, I did not intend to tire you but, I have learnt of a hadith from you that you narrate on the authority of Thawban from the Prophet (SAW) about the pond. So, I would love that you enlighten me directly with it.’ So, I narrated to him: Thawban narrated to me that Allah’s Messenger said, “My pond is as the distance between Aden and Amman in Balqa. Its water is more white than milk and more sweet tham honey and its glasses (or cups) are as nunmerous as the stars in the heaven. He who drinks from it once will never again experience thirst. The first people to come to it will be the poor muhajirs with unkempt, disorderly head, dirty clothes, not married to delicate, sensitive women and for whom doors are not opened. Umar interjected, ‘But, I have married such a woman and doors are opened for me. I have married Fatimah bint Abdul Malik, and, of course, I do wash my head till it is ruffled and my clothes that are on my body till they are dirty.”
