وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ نَحْوَهُ. وَلَفْظُهُ:
لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَخْرُجُ الْجَيْشُ مِنْ جُيُوشِهِمْ فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فَتَسْتَنْصِرُونَ بِهِ فَتُنْصَرُوا، فَيُقَالُ: لَا، فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ فِيكُمْ مَنْ صَحِبَ أَصْحَابَهُ ؟ وَيُقَالُ: مَنْ رَأَى مَنْ صَحِبَ أَصْحَابَهُ ؟ فَلَوْ سَمِعُوا بِهِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبِحَارِ لَأَتَوْهُ

✧ A time will surely come upon the people when an army from their armies goes out and it is said: 'Is there anyone among you who accompanied Muhammad ﷺ, so that you may seek victory through him and be granted victory?' It is said: 'No.' Then it is said: 'Is there anyone among you who accompanied his Companions?' And it is said: 'Who saw someone who accompanied his Companions?' If they heard of him from beyond the seas, they would come to him.
