"رَأَيْتُ غَنَمًا كَثِيرَةً سَوْدَاءَ دَخلَتْ فِيهَا غَنَمٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِيضٌ، قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قال: الْعَجَمُ، يَشْركُونكُمْ في دينكُمْ، وأَنْسَابكُمْ، لَوْ كَانَ الإِيمانَ مُعلَّقًا بالثُّريَّا لَنَالَهُ رجالٌ مِنَ الْعجم، وأَسْعدهُمْ بهِ النَّاسُ".

"I saw many black sheep, into which many white sheep entered." They said: "How have you interpreted it, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The non-Arabs (ʿajam); they will share with you in your religion and your lineages. If faith were suspended at the Pleiades, men from among the non-Arabs would attain it, and the most fortunate of people through it would be them."
