Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 39744 — What I have preserved

Abd al-Rahman bin Jubayr bin Nufayr said: When the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were severely grieved over those who were martyred with Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) at the Battle of Mu'tah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Most certainly, some peoples from this very Ummah will reach the Messiah, and they will be better than you or like you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times. "And Allah will never disgrace a nation at whose beginning I am and at whose end is the Messiah."
