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
