وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
يَا لَيْتَنِي لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ وَأَصْحَابَكَ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، وَلَكِنْ قَوْمًا يَجِيئُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ، يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي إِيمَانَكُمْ، وَيُصَدِّقُونِي تَصْدِيقَكُمْ، وَيَنْصُرُونِي نَصْرَكُمْ، فَيَا لَيْتَنِي لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي

✧ "Would that I could meet my brothers." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers and Companions?" He said, "Yes, but there will be a people who come after you, who believe in me as you believe, and affirm me as you affirm, and support me as you support. So would that I could meet my brothers."
