Musnad Ahmad 16977 — Hadith of Abu Jum'ah Habib ibn Sibaa'

Ibn Muhairiz says that I requested Hazrat Abu Jam'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) to narrate to me a hadith which he had heard from the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said: "Alright, I will tell you an excellent hadith. Once, we were partaking in the morning meal with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with us. He said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Will there be anyone better than us? We accepted Islam at your hand and performed jihad in your company.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: 'Yes! There will be a people who will come after you and will believe in me without having seen me.'"

The Sheikh says that there is repetition in their hadiths, therefore I have not written them here.
