    عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَبْشِرُوا إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ الْغَيْثِ لَا يُدْرَى آخِرُهُ خَيْرٌ أَمْ أَوَّلُهُ؟ أَوْ كَحَدِيقَةٍ أُطْعِمَ مِنْهَا فَوْجٌ عَامًا لَعَلَّ آخِرَهَا فَوْجًا أَنْ يكون أعرَضَها عرضا وَأَعْمَقَهَا عُمْقًا وَأَحْسَنَهَا حُسْنًا كَيْفَ تَهْلِكُ أُمَّةٌ أَنَا أَوَّلُهَا وَالْمَهْدِيُّ وَسَطُهَا وَالْمَسِيحُ آخِرُهَا وَلَكِنْ بَين ذَلِك فَيْجٌ أَعْوَج لَيْسُوا وَلَا أَنا مِنْهُم» رَوَاهُ رزين

    Ja’far, on his father’s authority, told that his grandfather[*] reported God’s messenger as saying, “Rejoice and rejoice again. My people are just like the rain, it not being known whether the last or the first of it is better; or it is like a garden from which a troop can be fed for a year, then another troop can be fed for a year, and perhaps the last troop which comes may be the broadest, deepest and finest. How can a people perish of which I am the first, the Mahdi the middle and the Messiah the last? But in the course of that there will be a crooked party which does not belong to me and to which I do not belong.” *i.e., Ja’far as-Sadiq, whose father was Muhammad al-Baqir and whose grandfather was `Ali b. al-Husain Zain al-‘Abidin. Razin transmitted it.

    وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّ الْخَلْقِ أَعْجَبُ إِلَيْكُمْ إِيمَانًا؟» قَالُوا: فالنبيون قَالَ: «ومالهم لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ وَالْوَحْيُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ؟» قَالُوا: فَنَحْنُ. قَالَ: «ومالكم لَا تُؤْمِنُونَ وَأَنَا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ؟» قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِن أَعْجَبَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ إِيمَانًا لَقَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي يَجِدُونَ صُحُفًا فِيهَا كِتَابٌ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا فِيهَا» وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ قَوْمٌ لَهُمْ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ أَوَّلِهِمْ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَيُقَاتِلُونَ أَهْلَ الْفِتَنِ» رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيّ فِي دَلَائِل النُّبُوَّة

    `Amr b. Shu’aib, on his father’s authority, told that his grandfather reported God’s messenger as saying, “Which people’s faith pleases you most?” On receiving the reply that they were the angels he said, “But why should they not believe when they are with their Lord?” It was suggested that they were the prophets to which he replied, “Why should they not believe when inspiration descends on them?” The people suggested themselves and he said, “Why should you not believe when I am among you?” He told that God’s messenger then said, “The people whose faith pleases me most are people who will come after my time who will find sheets containing a Book in whose contents they will believe.” `Abd ar-Rahman b. al-`Awf’ al-Hadrami said he was told the following by one who had heard the Prophet say it: “Among the last of this people will be some who will have a reward like that of the first of them. They will recommend what is reputable, forbid what is disreputable, and fight with those who cause dissensions.” Baihaqi transmitted the two traditions in Dalail an-nubuwa .

    وَعَن أبي مُحَيْرِيزٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جُمُعَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ: حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا جَيِّدًا تَغَدَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ منَّا؟ أسلمْنا وَجَاهَدْنَا مَعَكَ. قَالَ: «نَعَمْ قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَرَوَى رَزِينٌ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا إِلى آخِره

    Ibn Muhairiz[1] said he asked Abu Jumu’a,[2] one of the Companions, to tell him something he had heard from God’s messenger, and he replied: Yes, I shall tell you a good tradition. One day we had lunch with God’s messenger, and Abu `Ubaida b. al-Jarrah who was along with us asked, “Is anyone better, messenger of God, than we are who have accepted Islam and striven along with you?” He replied, “Yes, people who will come after your time and will believe on me without having seen me.” His name was Abdallah. He settled in Jerusalem and died in 99 A.H. See Shadharat adh dhahab , 1:116. Istiab p. 634, says there was doubt about his name, and one or two different statements about it are quoted. He was a companion of the Prophet and was reckoned among the Syrians. Ahmad and Darimi transmitted it, and Razin transmitted it on Abu `Ubaida’s authority from his asking, “Is anyone better, messenger of God, than we are…” to the end.

    Mu’awiya b. Qurra quoted his father’s authority for the statement that God’s messenger said, “When the Syrians become corrupt there will be good in you, but a section of my people will continue to be helped, not being injured by those who desert them, till the last hour comes.” Ibn al-Madini said they are the traditionists. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.

The worst of its people will remain in the earth, cast out by their lands, abhorred by God, collected along with apes and swine by fire[*] which will spend the night and midday where they are in their company.” *This is explained as the fire of civil strife.
