Sahl ibn Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I will precede you to the Basin. Whoever passes by me will drink, and whoever drinks will never thirst again. Some people will come to me whom I recognize and who recognize me, but a barrier will be placed between us. I will say, ‘They are from me,’ but it will be said, ‘You do not know what 1 they innovated after you.’ So I will say, ‘Away, away with those who changed after me.’”

(1) His statement: “What they innovated after you”: This refers to apostasy, as other sins do not prevent a believer from reaching the Basin and drinking its water. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)
