[Machine] "When this verse was revealed {And Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him}, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'They are the people of this (referring to) Abu Musa al-Ash'ari'."
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ} قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هُمْ قَوْمُ هَذَا يَعْنِي أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ»
[Machine] I heard 'Ayyad al-Ash'ari say, when the verse {So Allah will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him} [Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 54] was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are your people, O Abu Musa," and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pointed with his hand towards Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari.
سَمِعْتُ عِيَاضًا الْأَشْعَرِيَّ يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ} [المائدة 54] قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هُمْ قَوْمُكَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى وَأَوْمَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ»
" عَنْ عِيَاضٍ الأَشْعَرِىِّ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَالَ فِى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ} هُمْ قَومُ هَذَا، وَأَشَارَ إِلَى أَبِى مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِىِّ".
