Musnad Abi Ya'la 2306 — I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَاضِرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ: " يُبْعَثُ بَعْثٌ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ صَحِبَ مُحَمَّدًا؟ فَيُقَالُ: نَعَمْ. فَيُلْتَمَسُ فَيُوجَدُ الرَّجُلُ فَيُسْتَفْتَحُ فَيُفْتَحُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ثُمَّ يُبْعَثُ بَعْثٌ فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ رَأَى أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ؟ فَيُلْتَمَسُ فَلَا يُوجَدُ حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَحْرِ لَأَتَيْتُمُوهُ، ثُمَّ يَبْقَى قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "An army will be sent out (for jihad), and they will be asked: 'Is there anyone among you who had the companionship of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?' It will be answered: 'Yes!' So that man will be searched for, and when he is found, victory will be sought through him, and they will be granted victory. Then another army will be sent out, and it will be asked: 'Is there anyone among you who saw the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?' He will be searched for, but he will not be found; even if such a person were beyond the sea, you would (in searching for him) reach him. Then there will remain people who read the Qur'an but will not know what it truly is."
