Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4185 — The virtue of this Ummah

حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : عُقُوبَةُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بِالسَّيْفِ .
It is narrated from a Companion from among the Muhajirun (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The punishment of this Ummah (the Ummah of Muhammad) is by the sword (that is, as recompense for their sins, mutual fighting, trials and strife are imposed upon them)."
Takhrij and grading: The chain of this narration is sahih (authentic). Although the Companion's name is not explicitly mentioned in it, all the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) are upright, and not knowing his name does not harm the soundness of the chain. Imam Ahmad narrated it in his Musnad [hadith: 19828] and Imam Abu Dawud in his Sunan [hadith: 4298].
