Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Fadalah al-Zafari (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them in the mosque of Banu Zafar. He sat on the rock in the mosque of Banu Zafar which is still there today. With him were Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) and other Companions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed a reciter, and he began reciting until he reached this verse: "How will it be when We bring from every nation a witness, and bring you as a witness over all of these?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to weep until his blessed beard trembled. He said: "I am a witness over them as long as I am present among them; how will I be a witness for those whom I have not even seen?"
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Yahya bin Abdul Rahman bin Labibah narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "How will it be when We bring from every nation a witness, and bring you as a witness over all of these?" the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to weep, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O my Lord! I will be a witness over those among whom I am present; so how will I be a witness for those whom I have not even seen?"
Al-Tabarani recorded it. I do not know Abdul Rahman bin Labibah, and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
