It is narrated from Sayyiduna Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was asked from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Are we, the Companions, superior or the people who will come after us? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If any man from those who come after were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud, it would not reach even one mudd or half a mudd of what you have spent.
