It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“A
Prophet will come accompanied by two men, and a Prophet will
come
accompanied by three, and (some will come) with more or less than
that. It will be said to him: ‘Did you convey the message to your
people?’ And he will say: ‘Yes.’ Then his people will be called
and it
will be said: ‘Did he convey the message to you?’ They
will say: ‘No.’
Then it will be said: ‘Who will bear witness
for you?’ He will say:
‘Muhammad and his nation.’ So the nation
of Muhammad will be called
and it will be said: ‘Did this man
convey the message?’ They will say:
‘Yes.’ He will say: ‘How
did you know that?’ They will say: ‘Our
Prophet told us that the
Messengers had conveyed the message, and we
believed him.’ This is
what Allah says: “Thus We have made you, a just
(and the best)
nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the
Messenger
(Muhammad (ﷺ)) be a witness over you.’” [2:143]
