(فَضِيلَةُ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ جَاءُوا بَعْدَ الصَّحَابَةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ)
(The virtue of the people who came after the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them)
Hadith 6284
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَشَدِّ أمتِي لي حُبَّاً نَاسا يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ رَآنِي بِأَهْلِهِ وَمَاله» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Abu Huraira reported God's messenger saying, "Among my people some of those who love me most will be people who come after my time who would be prepared to sacrifice their families and their property if they could see me." Muslim transmitted it.
