[Machine] "While I was walking in Ahwaz, suddenly I came across a man walking in front of me, riding a camel or a she-camel. He said, 'O Allah, my horn has been taken away from this nation, so join me with them.' I said, 'And I also include myself in your supplication.' He said, 'And my companion too, if he desires it.' Then he said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best of my Ummah are my generation, then those who follow them." He said, 'I don't remember if he mentioned the third group or not.' Then I saw a group of people who appeared to have white fat dripping from their faces, giving testimony without being asked.' He said, 'And there is a young Bedouin named Bura'idah Al-Aslami.'"
