Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A people will come after me; one of them would wish that he could give his family and wealth as a ransom for seeing me." (That is, if only it were within his power to pay this ransom and attain the honour of seeing me.)
Al-Bazzar recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Abd al-Rahman bin Abi al-Zinad; his hadith is hasan (good), though there is weakness in him; the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
