وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَخْرُجُ الْجَيْشُ فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ؟ فَيَطْلُبُونَهُ فَلَا يَجِدُونَهُ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الْجَيْشُ فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ رَأَى أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ؟ فَيَطْلُبُونَهُ فَلَا يَجِدُونَهُ، فَلَوْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي وَرَاءَ الْبَحْرِ لَأَتَوْهُ

✧ A time will surely come upon the people when an army goes out and it is said: 'Is there anyone among you from the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ?' They will seek him but will not find him. Then an army goes out and it is said: 'Is there anyone among you who saw anyone from the Companions of Muhammad ﷺ?' They will seek him but will not find him. If any of my Companions were beyond the sea, they would come to him.
