Sheikh Ibn Baz
Reported from them (i.e., Bukhari & Muslim) on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, May Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: I wish that we saw our brothers. They (the companions) said: Are we not your brothers, O Messenger of Allah? He said: You are my companions, but my brothers are those who haven't come yet. They asked: So, how will you know/recognize those who haven't yet come from your Ummah? He said: If a man has a horse with radiant white stripes on its face and legs among horses which are all black, will he not recognize his own horse? They said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He said: So, they will come with marks of radiance on their faces and limbs from the traces of wudu, and I would arrive at the hawd before them. Certainly, men on the day of judgement will be driven away from my hawd like the camel that has strayed. I would call out: “Come!” Then it would be said to me: They changed (i.e., the din) after you, so I would say: "away! away!" The Sheikh: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest! He ﷺ will say "away, away." Meaning, "be off" to those who changed (the din) after me. There is no hawl (change from one state/condition to another) or strength except with Allah. This is the sign of his ﷺ ummah i.e., having radiant white faces and limbs from the traces of wudu, the ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, those who answered his ﷺ call.
