It will be answered: 'Yes, there is.' (Supplication will be made through them) and victory will be granted. Then a time will come when people will say: 'Is there anyone among you who has accompanied the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?' It will be answered: 'Yes, there is.' (Then supplication will be made through them and) victory will be granted.
