Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A time will come upon the people when some people will participate in battle, and it will be asked: 'Is there anyone among you who is a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?' The answer will be: 'Yes!' So those people will be granted victory. Then a time will come upon the people when they will go out for battle, and it will be asked: 'Is there anyone among you who has been with the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?' The answer will be: 'Yes,' so those people will be granted victory. Then a time will come upon the people when many people will go out for battle, and it will be asked: 'Is there anyone among you who has been with the students of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?' The answer will be: 'Yes,' so they too will be granted victory."
