Sahih Muslim Book - 43, Hadith - 5968

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيَّ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَهْلاً ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ، مَنْ وَرَدَ شَرِبَ ، وَمَنْ شَرِبَ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَدًا ، وَلَيَرِدَنَّ عَلَيَّ أَقْوَامٌ أَعْرِفُهُمْ وَيَعْرِفُونِي ، ثُمَّ يُحَالُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ. قَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ : فَسَمِعَ النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ وَأَنَا أُحَدِّثُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : هَكَذَا سَمِعْتَ سَهْلاً يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ.

It was narrated that Abu Hazim said: “I heard Sahl say: ‘I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: “I will reach the Cistern ahead of you. He who comes will drink, and whoever drinks will never be thirsty again. There will come to me some people will recognize me, then they will be prevented from reaching me.”’ Abu Hazim said: "And i heard An-Nu'man bin Abi 'Ayyash say, when i was narrating this Hadith to them: 'Is this what you heard Sahl say?' I said: 'Yes."'
