Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A time will come upon the people when many will come to participate in battle, and it will be asked: Is there anyone among you who is a companion of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? It will be answered: Yes. Then those people will be granted victory. Then a time will come upon the people when many will go to fight, and it will be asked: Is there anyone among you who has been with the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? It will be answered: Yes. Then those people will also be granted victory. Then a time will come upon those people, many will go to participate in battle, and it will be asked: Is there anyone among you who has been with the students of the companions? Then those people will also be granted victory.
