3057. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said, when he was atop his camel with the clipped ears in 'Arafât: 'Do you know what day this is, what month this is and what land this is?' They said: 'This is a sacred land, a sacred month and a sacred day.' He said: 'Your wealth and your blood are sacred to you as this month of yours, in this land of yours, on this day of yours. I will reach the Cistern (Hawd) before you, and I will be proud of your great numbers before the nations, so do not blacken my face (i.e., cause me to be ashamed). I will rescue some people, and some people will be taken away from me. I will say: "O Lord, my companions!" and He will say: "You do not know what innovations they introduced after you were gone."'" (Sahih)

Commentary
On the Day of Judgment the Prophet ﷺ will be granted the Kawthar Cistern. Those who followed his Sunnah throughout their life will drink from it.
Introducing innovations in religion and following them, deprive people of drinking from the Kawthar Cistern.
Increase in the number of Muslims is desirable in the Shari'ah. Nevertheless, it is also mandatory to raise children according to Islamic teachings so that they become true Muslims, and the Prophet ﷺ will be pleased with them
on the Day of Judgment.
d. The Prophet ﷺ will intercede for the sinners of his nation and save them from Hell.
e. The Prophet ﷺ will be prevented from the intercession of some people, such people will stay longer in Hell. If they committed polytheism or disbelief, they will reside in Hell forever.
