English Translation

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to me, Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to us, my father narrated to us, he said: Hilal narrated to me, from 'Ata' ibn Yasar, from Hadrat Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be well pleased with him), from the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), who stated: "While I will be standing (at the Pool), suddenly a group will come, until when I recognize them, a man will emerge from between me and them and will say: Come along. I will ask: Where to? He will say: By Allah, to the Fire! I will say: What is their affair? He will say: They turned back on their heels in retreat after you. Then another group will come, until when I recognize them, a man will emerge from between me and them and will say: Come along. I will ask: Where to? He will say: By Allah, to the Fire! I will say: What is their affair? He will say: They turned back on their heels in retreat after you. So I do not think any of them will be saved except a very few, like stray camels (which are very few in number)."
