Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Amr bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed Allah Almighty will support this religion through a sinful man."
Tabarani recorded it in the biography of Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him), and it has been marked with criticism, though it does not deserve that criticism, because it is correct. Al-Mizzi mentioned in the biography of Abu Khalid al-Walibi that Amr transmitted reports from Sayyiduna Amr bin al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Muqarrin (may Allah be pleased with him). I say: its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
