قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي بِخَطِّ يَدِهِ : حَدَّثَنِي
مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا
ضَمْرَةُ , عَنِ
السَّيْبَانِيِّ وَاسْمُهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو , عَنْ
عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ , عَنْ
أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الدّينِ , ظَاهِرِينَ لَعَدُوِّهِمْ قَاهِرِينَ , لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ إِلَّا مَا أَصَابَهُمْ مِنْ لَأْوَاءَ , حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ " , قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , وَأَيْنَ هُمْ ؟ قَالَ : " بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ , وَأَكْنَافِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A group from my Ummah will always remain dominant and steadfast on the religion. They will prevail over their enemies and will not care about those who oppose them or those who abandon them, except if they are afflicted with some hardship, until Allah's command comes, and they will remain in this state." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Where will these people be?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "In Bayt al-Maqdis and its surroundings."
