Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4171 — The virtue of the Companions

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : يَا لَيْتَنِي لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ وَأَصْحَابَكَ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى ، وَلَكِنْ قَوْمًا يَجِيئُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ ، يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي إِيمَانَكُمْ ، وَيُصَدِّقُونِي تَصْدِيقَكُمْ ، وَيَنْصُرُونِي نَصْرَكُمْ ، فَيَا لَيْتَنِي لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي .
( 196 ) وَحَدِيثُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ تَقَدَّمَ فِي الْإِيمَانِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (out of intense longing): "O how I wish I could meet my brothers!" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said (in surprise): "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers and your companions?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Certainly, but (my brothers) are people who will come after you. They will believe in me (with complete faith) just as you have believed, they will affirm me (sincerely) just as you have affirmed me, and they will help and support me (for the sake of the religion) just as you have helped me. So O how I wish I could meet those brothers of mine!"
(196) And the hadith of Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) with the same meaning has already passed in the Book of Faith.
