قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا} [البقرة: 143]
“A Prophet will come accompanied by two men, and a Prophet will come accompanied by three, and (some will come) with more or less than that. It will be said to him: ‘Did you convey the message to your people?’ And he will say: ‘Yes.’ Then his people will be called and it will be said: ‘Did he convey the message to you?’ They will say: ‘No.’ Then it will be said: ‘Who will bear witness for you?’ He will say: ‘Muhammad and his nation.’ So the nation of Muhammad will be called and it will be said: ‘Did this man convey the message?’ They will say: ‘Yes.’ He will say: ‘How did you know that?’ They will say: ‘Our Prophet told us that the Messengers had conveyed the message, and we believed him.’ This is what Allah says: “Thus We have made you, a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) be a witness over you.’” [2:143] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4284)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ مَعَهُ الرَّجُلَانِ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ مَعَهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ قَوْمَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُدْعَوْنَ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا فَيُقَالُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَتُدْعَى أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ بَلَّغَ هَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ فَيُقَالُ وَمَا عِلْمُكُمْ بِذَلِكَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا نَبِيُّنَا ﷺ أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ قَدْ بَلَّغُوا فَصَدَّقْنَاهُ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا} [البقرة 143] قَالَ «عَدْلًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ»
