Abu Mus'ab narrates: An elderly man from the people of Madinah came, and people saw something prominent in his baggage. They asked him about it, and he told them that he wanted to go towards the West (al-Maghrib). He said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Soon some people will go towards the West; when they come on the Day of Resurrection, their faces will be shining like the sun.'"
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah; his hadith is hasan (good), and there is weakness in him.
