Al-Walīd ibn Shujāʿ ibn al-Walīd al-Sakūnī narrated to me, saying: My father—may God have mercy on him—narrated to me, saying: Ziyād ibn Khaythamah narrated to me, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from Jābir ibn Samurah, from the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: "Indeed, I am your forerunner at the Basin [al-Ḥawḍ], and the distance between its two edges is like that between Ṣanʿāʾ and Aylah, and its pitchers are as numerous as the stars."
