[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There will always be a group from my Ummah standing firm upon the command of Allah, unaffected by those who abandon or oppose them, until the command of Allah comes to pass. They will be apparent to the people." Then Malik ibn Yakhamir As-SakSakī stood up and said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, I heard Mu'adh ibn Jabal saying this about the people of ash-Sham." Mu'awiyah replied in a raised voice, "This is Malik, claiming that he heard Mu'adh saying this about the people of ash-Sham."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللهِ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ ﷻ وَهُمْظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَامَ مَالِكُ بْنُ يَخَامِرٍ السَّكْسَكِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ يَقُولُ وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ هَذَا مَالِكٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاذًا يَقُولُ وَهُمْ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ
