Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 19870a
"مثَلُ أُمَتى كَحدِيقَة قَام عليها صاحِبُهَا فَاحْتَدَرَ رَوَاكِيها وَهَيَّأَ مساكِنَها، وحَلَق سَعَفَها، فأَطعمَ عامًا فوجًا، وعامًا فوجًا، فَلَعَلَّ آخِرَهما طعمًا أَن يكونَ أجودَهُما قِنْوانًا، وأَطوَلَهُمَا شِمراخًا، والذي بعثَنِى بالحق لَيَجدَنَّ عيسى ابن مريم في أُمتى خَلفًا من حواريِّهِ".

"The example of my Ummah is that of a garden which its owner tended. He dug out its channels, prepared its dwellings, and trimmed its palm fronds. He fed it year by year, group by group, so perhaps the last of them in taste will be the best of them in its clusters and the longest of them in its stalks. By the One who sent me with the truth, Jesus son of Mary will surely find among my Ummah a successor from his disciples."
