Mukhtasar Muslim

`Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that` the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A group from my Ummah will always remain steadfast on the truth; no one will be able to harm them, until the command of Allah comes (i.e., the Day of Judgment) and they will be in that state (i.e., dominant and upon the truth).

Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shumasah Mahri says: I was sitting with Muslamah bin Makhlad and with him was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Hour will not be established except upon the worst of creatures, and they will be worse than those of the Age of Ignorance. Whatever they pray to Allah for, Allah will grant them. They were in this state when Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) came, so Muslamah said to him: O Uqbah! Did you hear what Abdullah is saying? Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: He knows better than me, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A group or a party from my Ummah will always fight upon the command of Allah, and will prevail over their enemy. Whoever opposes them will not be able to harm them, until the Hour comes and they are in that state. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said so). Then Allah will send a wind which will have the fragrance of musk and will touch the body like silk. It will not leave anyone whose heart has even a grain's weight of faith, except that it will cause him to die. After that, only the worst (disbelieving) people will remain, and upon them the Hour will be established.

The conqueror of Persia, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of the West (i.e., the Arabs or the people of Syria) will always remain dominant upon the truth, until the Day of Resurrection is established.
