It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard Abu’l-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the narrator Umm Darda’ says: I never heard Abu Darda’ mention the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) by his kunyah (Abu’l-Qasim) before or after this. In any case, he says that Abu’l-Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Allah Almighty said: O ‘Isa! After you, I am going to send a community, if they receive that which they love, they will praise Me and give thanks, and if they encounter circumstances which outwardly they dislike, even then they will be patient and hope for reward. They will have neither forbearance nor knowledge. ‘Isa (peace be upon him) said: O my Lord! When they have neither forbearance nor knowledge, how will these qualities be found in them? Allah Almighty said: I will bestow upon them forbearance and knowledge from Myself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Jaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will complete the number of seventy nations; among them, you are the last and the most honored and noble in the sight of Allah Almighty. The distance between the side posts of the gates of Paradise is forty years’ journey, but despite the gates of Paradise being so wide, they will become crowded because of your multitude.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that this Ummah has been given superiority over the previous nations in three things: the entire earth has been made a means of purification for it, that is, tayammum as a substitute for wudu, and a place of worship, and its rows have been made like the rows of angels. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) further stated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said that the last verses of Surah Al-Baqarah have been given to me from the treasures beneath the Throne, such a treasure was not given to any prophet before me. One of the narrators of this hadith, Abu Mu'awiyah, says that all these things are transmitted from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give glad tidings to this Ummah of honor and status with Allah, high rank, piety, support and help, and dominance on the earth. The narrator remembered these five things, and the sixth slipped from his mind; he is doubtful about it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever from this Ummah performs deeds of the Hereafter for the sake of the world, he will have no share in the Hereafter. Abdullah says: My father informed me that the real name of the narrator of this hadith, Abu Salamah, is Mughira bin Muslim, and he is the brother of Abdul Aziz bin Muslim Qasmalī.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Mercy has been bestowed upon my Ummah; it will not be punished in the Hereafter. The punishment of my Ummah is in this world in the form of killing, hardships, earthquakes, and tribulations.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is a special mercy of Allah upon my Ummah; there will be no punishment for it in the Hereafter. Its punishment is in this world in the form of killing, hardships, and earthquakes.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this Ummah had two guarantees from Allah. Now, one of those guarantees has been taken away, and the other still remains. Regarding these two types of protection, Allah Almighty has said: {وَمَا کَانَ اللّٰہُ لِیُعَذِّبَہُمْ وَأَنْتَ فِیہِمْ وَمَا کَانَ اللّٰہُ مُعَذِّبَہُمْ وَہُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُونَ} … And Allah will not punish them while you are among them, and Allah will not punish them while they seek forgiveness.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will never combine two swords upon this Ummah—one sword belonging to this Ummah itself and the other belonging to the enemy.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Maymun bin Sanbaz, may Allah be pleased with him, a companion, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The stability of my Ummah will be through bad people. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said this three times.
