A scene at the Basin that should unsettle you

He recognises them, calls for them, and is told what happened after he left.

أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ، لَيُرْفَعَنَّ إِلَىَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْكُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا أَهْوَيْتُ لأُنَاوِلَهُمُ اخْتُلِجُوا دُونِي فَأَقُولُ أَىْ رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي. يَقُولُ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ

I am your predecessor at the Basin. Some men from among you will be brought to me, and when I reach out for them they will be taken away from me. I will say: my Lord, my companions. And it will be said: you do not know what they did after you.
