One of the distinct blessings that Allah, Exalted is He, shall confer on His Prophet ﷺ on the Day of Resurrection, is His Hawdh (basin) from which he ﷺ shall serve water to the righteous and steadfast Muslims on that difficult day. In this hadeeth, the Prophet ﷺ swore by the name of Allah, saying: “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is,” and he ﷺ usually used this wording in his oaths. It means, ‘By Him in Whose Hand my life lies.” It affirms the fact that Allah, Exalted is He, has a Hand, in a manner that befits His Majesty. He ﷺ said: “I will drive some people away,” meaning the apostates, hypocrites, or those who had committed religious innovations and distorted the religion of Islam after the Prophet’s death, “from my Hawdh (i.e., Basin) on the Day of Resurrection as strange camels are expelled from a private trough,” meaning like a shepherd would drive away a strange camel, denying it access to water when his camels are drinking therefrom. The hadeeth affirms the existence of the Prophet’s Hawdh. It is also deduced from the hadeeth that it is allowable to swear by the name of Allah, Exalted is He, to affirm one’s statement without a prior request to take an oath or a necessity warranting it. .
