Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12245

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ : يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ ، حَدَّثَنِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ - قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : يَعْنِي زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ " . وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا هُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَزَّارُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَأَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّامِيُّ ذَكَرَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ وَلَمْ يَجْرَحْهُ أَحَدٌ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O people of Sham! An Ansari narrated this hadith to me; here the narrator Shu'bah stated that by that Ansari is meant Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A group of my Ummah will always remain upon the truth." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people of Sham! I hope that you are the ones meant by this.
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Abu Abdullah al-Shami, whom Ibn Abi Hatim mentioned, and no one has criticised him; the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
