عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي خَلِيلِي الصَّادِقُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ”يَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْثٌ إِلَى السِّنْدِ وَالْهِنْدِ“ فَإِنْ أَنَا أَدْرَكْتُهُ فَاسْتُشْهِدْتُ فَذَلِكَ وَإِنْ أَنَا فَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً رَجَعْتُ وَأَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْمُحَرَّرُ قَدْ أَعْتَقَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: My true friend, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me while describing: In this Ummah, an army will go towards Sindh and Hind. Then Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say: If I find that army and participate in it and attain the rank of martyrdom, that is better; and if I am not martyred, but return, then I will become free Abu Hurairah—Allah Almighty will free me from the Fire.
