(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
الْحَارِثِ ، عَنِ
عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُلْتَمَسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي كَمَا تُلْتَمَسُ أَوْ تُبْتَغَى الضَّالَّةُ ، فَلَا يُوجَدُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established (until all of my companions have completely departed from this world); to the extent that one of my companions will be sought as something lost is sought, but not a single companion will be found."
