٢٠۔ كِتَابُ الرِّقَاقِ
[Machine] I said to Abu Jumah, a man from the Companions, "Tell us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He said, "Yes, I will narrate to you a good hadith. We had a meal with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah was also with us. Abu Ubaidah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , 'Is anyone better than us? We believed in you and fought alongside you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, 'Yes, there will be people who come after you, who believe in me even though they have not seen me.'"
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جُمُعَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمْ أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثًا جَيِّدًا تَغَدَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا؟ أَسْلَمْنَا وَجَاهَدْنَا مَعَكَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي»
