English translation

4749. ‘Abdu-Salām bin Abī Hāzim Abū Tālūt said: I witnessed Abū Barzah enter upon ‘Ubaidullāh bin Ziyād. so-and-so – someone who was named by Muslim (one of the narrators) – and who was among the people, told me: When ‘Ubaidullāh saw him he said: ‘O you Companions of Muḥammad, the short and stout.’ The Shaikh was offended, and said: ‘I do not think that I will stay among people who criticize me for having been a Companion of Muḥammad ﷺ.’ ‘Ubaidullāh said to him: ‘Your having been a Companion of Muḥammad ﷺ is a source of pride for you, not a source of shame.' Then he said: 'I came to you to ask you about the Hawd (Cistern). Did you hear the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say anything about it?' Abū Barzah said: 'Yes, not once or twice, or three times or four, or five. Whoever disbelieves in it, may Allāh not give him to drink from it.' Then he went out angrily." (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

4749 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ أَبُو طَالُوتَ، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، فَحَدَّثَنِي فُلَانٌ - سَمَّاهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَكَانَ فِي السِّمَاطِ - فَلَمَّا رَآهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ: إِنَّ مُحَمَّدِيَّكُمْ هَذَا الدَّحْدَاحُ، فَفَهِمَهَا الشَّيْخُ، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَحْسَبُ أَنِّي أَبْقَى فِي قَوْمٍ يُعَيِّرُونِي بِصُحْبَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ: إِنَّ صُحْبَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَكَ زَيْنٌ غَيْرُ شَيْنٍ، قَالَ: إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ لِأَسْأَلَكَ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ، سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَرْزَةَ: نَعَمْ «لَا مَرَّةً، وَلَا ثِنْتَيْنِ، وَلَا ثَلَاثًا، وَلَا أَرْبَعًا، وَلَا خَمْسًا، فَمَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهِ فَلَا سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا»
