Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4169 — The virtue of the Companions

وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَانِئٍ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الْغِفَارِيِّ : أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ : كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا شَبِعْتُمْ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَالزَّيْتِ ؟ فَضَجُّوا وَكَبَّرُوا سَاعَةً ، ثُمَّ قَالُوا : مَتَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : إِذَا فُتِحَتِ الْأَمْصَارُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَلْوَانُ وَغَدَوْتُمْ بِثِيَابٍ وَجِئْتُمْ بِأُخْرَى ؟ قَالُوا : مَتَى ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : إِذَا فُتِحَتِ الْأَمْصَارُ ، وَفُتِحَتْ فَارِسُ وَالرُّومُ وَقَالُوا : فَهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، يُدْرِكُونَ الْفُتُوحَ ، قَالَ : بَلْ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمْ ، وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمْ ، وَأَبْنَاءُ أَبْنَائِكُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ أَبْنَائِهِمْ ، لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا بِشُكْرٍ ، لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا بِشُكْرٍ ، لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا بِشُكْرٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "How will you be when you are fully satisfied with bread and olive oil?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) cried out and kept proclaiming the takbir aloud for a while, then they said: O Messenger of Allah, when will that be? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the great cities are conquered." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "How will you be when your garments become of different colours and kinds, and you go out in the morning in one garment and come back in the evening in another?" They said: O Messenger of Allah, when will that be? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the great cities are conquered, and the empires of Persia and Rome are conquered." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, will those who witness these conquests then be better than us? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, you are better than them, your children are better than their children, and your children's children are better than their children's children. They will not have fulfilled the right of gratitude, they will not have fulfilled the right of gratitude, they will not have fulfilled the right of gratitude."
Imam al-Harith bin Abi Usamah narrated this hadith; its chain contains Rishdin bin Sa'd, a da'if (weak) narrator.
