[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the road to Makkah, he said, "The people of Yemen will come to you, appearing like clouds. They are the best people on the earth." A man from the Ansar (helpers) said, "Are we not with you, O Messenger of Allah?" He remained silent. He repeated the question and the Prophet ﷺ remained silent. He repeated it for the third time and the Prophet ﷺ said with a weak voice, "Except for you."
بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِطَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ إِذْ قَالَ يَطْلُعُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْيَمَنِ كَأَنَّهُمُ السَّحَابُ هُمْ خِيَارُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَسَكَتَ قَالَ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟فَسَكَتَ قَالَ وَلَا نَحْنُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ كَلِمَةً ضَعِيفَةً إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ
