It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah looked at the moment of mercy and He shortened (the time) for me, thus we came at the end of all (nations), but on the Day of Resurrection we will be the first among the people. I am saying one thing to you without pride: Ibrahim is Allah's Khalil (close friend), and Musa is Allah's chosen friend, and I am Allah's beloved. The banner of praise will be in my hand on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah has promised me regarding my Ummah and granted them deliverance from three things: He will not afflict all of them with famine (i.e., a punishment will not come upon the entire Ummah at once), nor will any enemy be able to destroy all of them, and He will not let the entire Ummah gather upon misguidance."
