Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Before you is my Basin, its width as vast as the distance between Jarba’ and Adhruh.” Some narrators said: These are two villages in Sham, separated by a journey of three nights. In another narration: “Its pitchers are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Whoever reaches it and drinks from it will never thirst thereafter.” [Agreed Upon] Ali al-Qari said: The author of Al-Qamus stated: Jarba’ is a village near Adhruh, and those who claim the distance between them is three days are mistaken. The error stems from the narrators’ omission of an addition mentioned by Al-Daraqutni, which is: “The width of my Basin is like the distance between Medina, Jarba’, and Adhruh.”

ملا علی قاری نے فرمایا: صاحب قاموس نے ذکر کیا ہے کہ جرباء مقام اذرح کے بازو ایک قریہ ہے اور دونوں کے درمیان تین دن کی مسافت کہنے والوں نے غلطی کی، دراصل اس میں بعض زائد الفاظ ساقط ہو جانے کی وجہ سے بعض راویوں کو یہ وہم ہو گیا، جنکا ذکر دارقطنی نے کیا ہے اور وہ الفاظ یہ ہیں میرے حوض کے دونوں کناروں کا درمیانی فاصلہ ایسا ہی ہے جیسے مدینہ شریف اور مقام جرباء و اذرح کے درمیان ہے۔
