وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبَانَ، ثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ شَغَافٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ - ؓ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ أَكْرَمَ خَلْقِ اللهِ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ، وَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَإِنَّ النَّارَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعَثَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْخَلَائِقَ أُمَّةً أُمَّةً، وَنَبِيًّا نَبِيًّا، حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَحْمَدُ ﷺ وَأُمَّتُهُ آخِرَ الْأُمَمِ مَرْكَزًا، ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ جِسْرُ جَهَنَّمَ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ: أَيْنَ أَحْمَدُ وَأُمَّتُهُ ؟ فَيَقُومُ، وَتَتْبَعُهُ أُمَّتُهُ بَرُّهَا وَفَاجِرُهَا

✧ Indeed the most honored of Allah's creation to Him is Abu al-Qasim ﷺ, and Paradise is in the heaven, and the Fire is in the earth. When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will raise the creatures nation by nation and prophet by prophet, until Ahmad ﷺ and his nation are the last of the nations to be stationed. Then the bridge of Hell will be placed, then a caller will call out: 'Where is Ahmad and his nation?' He will stand, and his nation, both its righteous and its wicked, will follow him.
