    Abu Huraira told that at-Tufail b. Amr ad-Dausi came to God’s messenger and said, “Daus have perished; they have disobeyed and refused, so supplicate God to punish them.” The people thought he would do so, but he said, “0 God, give Daus guidance and bring them[*].” * Mirqat 5:517, explains this as meaning either to bring them as emigrants to Medina or to bring them into obedience to Islam.

    Al-Humaidi’s book has “I have most right” instead of “make unjustifiable claims for himself.” Jubair b.

He replied, “If you do not find me go to Abu Bakr.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

My companions are a means of safety for my people, and when my companions depart what my people have been threatened with will come to them.” Muslim transmitted it.

    Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported God’s messenger as saying, “A time is coming to mankind when a party will go to fight and be asked if there are among them any who were companions of God’s messenger; and when they reply that there are, they will be given victory. Then a time is coming to mankind when a party will go to fight, and when they are asked if there are any among them who associated with the companions of God’s messenger and reply that there are, they will be given victory. Then a time is coming to mankind when a party of people will go to fight, and when they are asked if there are any among them who associated with those who associated with the companions of God’s messenger and reply that there are, they will be given victory.” (Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Muslim he said, “A time is coming to mankind when an expedition will be sent forth from among them, and when they are asked to see whether they can find one of the companions of God’s messenger among them and one is found, they will be given victory. Then a second expedition will be sent forth, and when they are asked if they include anyone who saw the companions of God’s messenger and one is found, they will be given victory. Then a third expedition will be sent forth and people will be asked to look and see whether they include anyone who saw anyone who saw the Prophet’s companions. Then there will be a fourth expedition and people will be asked to look and see whether they include anyone who saw anyone who saw anyone who saw the Prophet’s companions. A man will be found and victory will be given because of him.” Muslim.

    Imran b. Husain reported God’s messenger as saying, “The best of my people are my generation, then their immediate followers, then their immediate followers. After them there will be people who give testimony without being asked, who will be treacherous and not to be trusted, who will make vows which they do not fulfil, among whom fatness[*] will appear.” A version has “They will swear oaths without being asked to do so.” * Mirqat 5:520 f., gives various explanations of this, including unjustified pride, unjustified claims to nobility, acquisition of wealth, elaborate food and drink, neglect of religious duties. It is obviously some unsatisfactory characteristic which is intended. The various meanings suggested might be combine by treating it as meaning fine living which leads to neglect of religion. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
