Imam Ahmad katika Musnad yake (juzuu ya nne ukurasa wa 273) amesimulia kutoka kwa al-Nu'man Ibn Bashir (ra) akisema kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Unabii utakuwepo kwenu kwa muda ambao Allah anautaka. Kisha Yeye atauondoa akitaka kuuondoa. Kisha patakuwa na Ukhalifa kwa mfumo wa unabii, na mambo yatakuwa kama Allah anavyotaka yawe. Kisha Yeye atauondoa akitaka kuuondoa. Kisha patakuwa na utawala wa kurithishana, na mambo yatakuwa kama Allah anavyotaka yawe. Kisha Yeye atauondoa akitaka kuuondoa. Kisha patakuwa na utawala wa kidhalimu, na mambo yatakuwa kama Allah anavyotaka yawe. Kisha Yeye atauondoa akitaka kuuondoa. Kisha patakuwa na Ukhalifa kwa mfumo wa Unabii." Kisha akanyamaza ﷺ.
Mtume ﷺ ametabiri kurejea kwa Ukhalifa baada ya kufa kwake na kuharibiwa kwake. Leo tunashuhudia utawala wa kidhalimu ambao Mtume ﷺ alituarifu juu yake, lakini pia tunakaribia kurejea kwa Ukhalifa ulio juu ya Minhaj ya Mtume ﷺ, ambao alisema ﷺ kwamba utarejea tena.
Imam Ahmad in his Musnad (volume four page 273) narrated from al-Nu’man Ibn Bashir (ra) as saying that the Prophet had stated, “Prophethood will last with you for as long as Allah wants it to last. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be Khilafah according to the method of prophethood, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a hereditary rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be an oppressive rule, and things will be as Allah wishes them to be. Then He will end it if He wishes to end it. Then there will be a Khilafah according to the method of Prophethood.” Then he (saw) fell silent” The Messenger of Allah (saw) has foretold the return of the Khilafah after its demise and destruction. Today we are witnessing the oppressive rule that the Messenger of Allah (saw) informed us of, however we are also nearing the return of the Khilafah that is upon the Minhaj of the Messenger of Allah (saw) that he (saw) stated would once again return.
Hakika tunapaswa kutambua kwamba dhulma inayozidi wanayokabiliana nayo waumini na wabebaji wa Da'awah ya Uislamu na wanaofanya kazi ya kusimamisha Khilafah ni ishara tu ya kurejea kwa Khilafah, na ni kukubali kwa watawala wanafiki jambo hili. Tupate faraja na tuongeze uthabiti wetu, subira yetu na kuvumilia kwetu dhidi ya madhalimu hao, kwa maneno ya Mtume wa Allah ﷺ kama yalivyosimuliwa na Imam Ahmad katika Musnad yake kutoka kwa Maqal bin Yasar, aliyesema kwamba Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Dhulma haitachukua muda mrefu kujitokeza baada ya mimi kuondoka. Dhulma yoyote itakayojitokeza, haki sawa na hiyo itaondoka, mpaka watu wazaliwe chini ya dhulma ambao hawajawahi kujua kitu kingine. Kisha Allah ataleta haki, na haki yoyote itakayokuja, dhulma sawa na hiyo itaondoka, mpaka watu wazaliwe chini ya haki ambao hawajawahi kujua kitu kingine."
Sasa tuko katika ukingo wa kurejea kwa Khilafah. Kuna simulizi nyingi na unabii kuhusu kurejea kwake. Hakika Mtume wa Allah ﷺ alitabiri kwamba utawala wa Uislamu utarejea, na pia kwamba utachukua nafasi yake katika al-Quds, kwani kiti cha Khilafah kitakuwa al-Quds.
Indeed we should realise that the increased oppression that the believers and the carriers of the Da’awah to Islam and the establishment of the Khilafah are facing is only a sign of the return of the Khilafah and the hypocrite rulers acknowledgment of this. We should take confidence and increase our steadfastness, patience and perseverance against such tyrants from the words of the Messenger of Allah (saw) as narrated from Imam Ahmed in his Musnad on the authority of Maqal ibn Yasar who said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Tyranny will not be long in appearing after I am gone. Whatever tyranny appears, a like amount of justice will go, until people are born under tyranny who have never known anything else. Then Allah will bring justice, and whatever justice comes, a like amount of tyranny will go, until people are born under justice who have never known anything else.” We are now upon the brink of the return of the Khilafah. There are many narrations and prophecies concerning its return. Indeed the Messenger of Allah (saw) foretold that the rule of Islam will return and also that it will take its place in al-Quds, as the seat of the Khilafah will be in al-Quds.
Katika kitabu cha Ibn Asakir kiitwacho "Historia Kubwa ya Dameski", inasimuliwa kwamba Yunis Ibnu Maysara Ibnu Halbas alisema: Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Utawala huu (yaani Ukhalifa) utakuwa baada yangu Madina, kisha Al-Sham, kisha Peninsula, kisha Iraq, kisha Madina, kisha Bayt Al-Maqdis (Al-Quds). Utawala utakapoimarika Al-Quds, hapo ndipo patakuwa makao yake, na baada ya hapo hakuna atakayeweza kuuondoa."
Umma umeshuhudia kiti cha Ukhalifa kikihama kutoka Madina, Al-Sham, Iraq na Madina tena katika zama za Makhalifa wa mwanzo. Insha'Allah itakaporudi tena, itachukua Al-Quds kuwa mji mkuu wake!
Ibn Sad na mwandishi wa Kanz ul Ummal 14/252 wote wawili wamesimulia kwamba Abu Umayra Al-Mazani alisema: Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Kutakuwa na Baya'a ya uongofu huko Bayt Al-Maqdis."
Ahmad katika Musnad yake (5/288), Abu Dawood katika Sunan yake Na. 2535 na Al-Hakim katika Al-Mustadrak wametoa Hadith ifuatayo: Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Ukhalifa utakapofika Ardhi Takatifu, hii itamaanisha kwamba matetemeko ya ardhi, misiba na matukio makubwa yamekaribia, na Saa itakuwa karibu kwa watu kuliko mkono wangu ulivyo karibu na kichwa chako."
Al-Hakim katika Al-Mustadrak 4/468, Ahmad katika Musnad yake 2/84 na Abu Dawood katika Sunan yake, chini ya namba 2482, wameripoti kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Hijra mbili zitatokea, na ya mwisho itakuwa kwenda mahali ambapo baba yenu Ibrahim, amani iwe juu yake, alihamia."
Hijra ya kwanza ilikuwa ya Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ wakati wa kuanzishwa kwa Dola ya kwanza ya Kiislamu iliyodumu miaka 1342. Insha'Allah, ijayo itakuwa pamoja na kurejeshwa kwa Ukhalifa. Tuna hakika ya kurejea kwa Ukhalifa, na kwa hakika Ukhalifa utakuwa wenye ustawi na nguvu utakaounganisha ardhi ya Kiislamu na kuupeleka Uislamu kwa dunia nzima.
In the book of Ibn Asakir entitled the “Great history of Damascus”, Yunis Ibnu Maysara Ibnu Halbas is reported to have said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “This rule (i.e. the Khilafah) will be after me in Madina, then in Al-Sham, then in the peninsula, then in Iraq, then in Madina, then in Bayt Al-Maqdis (Al-Quds), and when the rule is established in Al-Quds, that would be its place, and thereafter nobody will be able to remove it.” The Ummah has witnessed the seat of the Khilafah moving from Madina, al Sham, Iraq and Madina in the times of the earlier Khulafa’. Insh’Allah when it returns again it will take al Quds as its capital! Ibn Sad and the author of Kanz ul Ummal 14/252 both narrated that Abu Umayra Al-Mazani said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There will be a Baya’a of guidance in Bayt Al-Maqdis.” Ahmad in his Musnad (5/288), Abu Dawood in his Sunan No 2535 and Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak extracted the following Hadith: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “When the Khilafah comes to the Holy land, this would mean that the earthquakes, the calamities and the major events are imminent, and that the Hour will then be nearer to people than my hand is to your head.” Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak 4/468, Ahmad is his Musnad 2/84 and Abu Dawood in his Sunan, under number 2482, reported that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Two immigrations will take place, and the latter will be to the place where your father Ibrahim may peace be upon him had immigrated.” The first Hijrah was that of the Messenger of Allah (saw) at the establishment of the first Islamic State that lasted 1342 years, Insh’allah the next will be with the resumption of the Khilafah. We can be assured of the return of the Khilafah, indeed the Khilafah would be a prosperous one and a mighty one that will unify the Islamic land and carry Islam to the rest of the World.
Al-Nawawi katika kitabu chake kiitwacho Sharhu (Maelezo ya) Muslim (18/38-39) na katika Musnad ya Imam Ahmad 3/317, Hadithi ifuatayo imepokewa kwa mapokezi ya Jabir: Mtume wa Allah ﷺ amesema: “Miongoni mwa kizazi cha mwisho cha Ummah wangu, kutakuwa na Khalifa atakayetawanya mali bila kuihesabu.” Katika riwaya nyingine, Mtume wa Allah ﷺ amesema: “Dunia itakapokaribia mwisho wake, kutakuwa na Khalifa atakayegawanya mali bila kuihesabu.”
Hadithi ifuatayo imenukuliwa na Muslim katika Sahih yake kulingana na Sharhu al-Nawawi (sura ya 18, ukurasa 13), Abu Dawood katika Sunan yake (Hadithi 4252), Al-Tirmidhi (sura ya 2, ukurasa 27), Ibnu Majah (2952) na Musnad ya Ahmad (sura ya 5, kurasa 278 na 284), na Al-Hakim katika Al-Mustadrak (4/479), kwa mapokezi ya Thawban: “Mtume wa Allah ﷺ amesema: Hakika Allah ameikusanya ardhi kwa ajili yangu, nikaona sehemu zake za mashariki na magharibi. Na hakika mamlaka ya Ummah wangu yatafika katika sehemu za ardhi ambazo zimeonyeshwa kwangu.”
Katika Musnad ya Imam Ahmad 2/176, na ile ya Al-Darimi (sura ya 1, ukurasa 126), na katika Al-Mustadrak ya Al-Hakim (3/422), Hadithi ifuatayo imenukuliwa kwa mapokezi ya Abu Qabil aliyesema: “Tulikuwa kwa Abdullah bin Amr bin Al A’as, akaulizwa: Ni mji upi kati ya miji miwili utakaotekwa kwanza, Constantinople au Roma? Abdullah akaomba sanduku liletwe, akatoa kitabu ndani yake, kisha akasema: Siku moja tulikuwa tumekusanyika kumzunguka Mtume wa Allah ﷺ tukiandika, akaulizwa: Ni mji upi kati ya miji miwili utakaotekwa kwanza, Constantinople au Roma? Mtume wa Allah ﷺ akajibu: Mji wa Heraclius ndio utakaotekwa kwanza (yaani Constantinople).”
Al-Nawawi in his book entitled Sharhu (explanation of) Muslim (18/38-39) and in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 3/317 the following Hadith was reported on the authority of Jabir: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Among the last generation of my Ummah, there will be a Khaleefah who will scatter the money without counting it. In another report the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “When the end of the world is near, there will be a Khaleefah who would divide the money without counting it.” The following Hadith was extracted by Muslim in his Sahih according to Sharhu al-Nawawi (chapter 18 page 13), Abu Dawood in his Sunan (Hadith 4252), Al-Tirmithi chapter 2 page 27), Ibnu Majah (2952) and Ahmad’s Musnad (chapter 5 pages 278 & 284) and Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak (4/ 479), on the authority of Thawban: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Verily Allah has cornered (i.e. gathered together) the earth for me, so I saw its eastern and its western parts. And verily the authority of my Ummah will reach the parts of the earth which have been shown to me.” In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad 2/176, and that of Al-Darimi (chapter 1 page 126), and in Al-Mustadrak of Al-Hakim (3/422) the following Hadith was extracted on the authority of Abu Qabil who said: “We were at Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al A’as, and he was asked: Which of the two cities would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? So Abdullah asked for a box to be brought, and from it he took out a book and then said: We were once gathered around the Messenger of Allah (SAW) writing, and he (SAW) was asked: Which of the two cities would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? The Messenger of Allah (SAW) replied: The city of Heraclius will be conquered first (meaning Constantinople)”.
Ushindi wa kwanza uliotajwa katika Hadithi tayari umepatikana, yaani ushindi wa Constantinople, chini ya uongozi wa Khalifah Muhammad Al-Fatih, na hili lilitokea miaka 800 baada ya Mtume Muhammad ﷺ kulitabiri. Kwa msaada wa Allah, ushindi wa pili, yaani ule wa Roma, utapatikana hivi karibuni.
The first conquest mentioned in the Hadith has already been achieved, i.e the conquest of Constantinople, under the leadership of the Khaleefah Muhammad Al-Fatih, and this was 800 hundred years after the Messenger of Allah (saw) had foretold it. With the help of Allah, the second conquest, i.e. that of Rome, will be achieved soon.
Enyi Waislamu! Allah ameahidi ushindi kwa wale miongoni mwenu walio na imani thabiti isiyotikisika na wanaojitahidi kwa ajili ya Dini ili bendera ya La ilaha illa Allah ipeperushwe juu kabisa.
O Muslims! Allah has promised the victory to those amongst who have a strong unshakeable Iman and work for the Deen in order to make the Raya (flag) of La ilaha ill Allah the highest.
Katika Surat an-Nur, aya ya 55, Allah (SWT) anawaahidi Waumini,
In Surah al-Nur, verse 55 Allah (swt) promises the Believers,
Allah amewaahidi, wale miongoni mwenu wanaoamini na kutenda mema, kwamba bila shaka atawapa urithi wa madaraka katika ardhi, kama alivyowapa wale waliokuwa kabla yao; kwamba atasimamisha madarakani Dini yao aliyowachagulia, na kwamba atawabadilishia hali yao, baada ya hofu waliyokuwa wakiishi nayo, kuwa hali ya amani na usalama. Watanimwabudu Mimi peke yangu wala hawatanishirikisha na chochote, na wale watakaokufuru baada ya hayo, basi hao ndio mafasiki na waovu. (TMQ al-Nur, aya ya 55)
“Allah has promised, those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, indeed, grant them inheritance of power in the earth, as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their Deen, which He has chosen for them, and that He will change their state, after the fear in which they lived in, to one of security and peace. They will worship Me alone and not associate aught with Me, and those who do reject the faith after this, they would be the rebellious and the wicked.” (TMQ al-Nur, verse 55)
Imam al-Qurtubi aliandika katika kitabu chake kiitwacho Al-Jami’i Li Ahkam Al-Qur’an, katika tafsiri yake kuhusu aya hii, yafuatayo: “Ni sahihi kusema kwamba aya hii inawahusu Ummah ya Muhammad ﷺ kwa ujumla, kwa kuwa kuifanya mahsusi haiwezekani isipokuwa mfikishaji (yaani Mtume ﷺ) atutaarifu juu ya hilo; na inayojulikana kuwa kanuni ni kushikamana daima na ujumla wake.”
Imam al-Shawkani aliandika kuhusu aya hii katika kitabu chake kiitwacho Fath-ul-Qadeer, juzuu ya 4, ukurasa wa 74, yafuatayo: “Hii ni ahadi kutoka kwa Allah (SWT) kwa wale walioamini Allah na kutenda mema, kwamba atawapa mamlaka juu ya dunia nzima, kama alivyowapa mamlaka mataifa yaliyotangulia. Ahadi hii inawahusu Ummah wote. Imedaiwa kwamba ahadi hiyo ilikuwa mahsusi kwa Maswahaba, lakini hakuna dalili inayothibitisha dai hilo, kwa kuwa imani na kutenda mema hakuzuiliwi kwa Maswahaba, bali ni wazi kwa kila mtu katika Ummah.”
Basi Mtume wa Allah ﷺ ametabiri kurejeshwa kwa Khilafah na kutawala kwa Dini hii. Allah (SWT) ametuahidi ushindi, na tunayo Shari’ah ambayo Allah ametuneemesha nayo, inayotuongoza jinsi ya kurejesha Khilafah.
Imam al-Qurtubi wrote in his book entitled Al-Jami’i Li Ahkam Al-Qur’an in commentary about this verse the following: “It is correct to say that the verse applies to the Ummah of Muhammad in general, for the specification does not take place unless the conveyor (i.e. the Prophet) informs us about it; and what is known to be the rule, is to always adhere to the generality.” Imam al-Shawkani wrote about this verse in his book entitled Fath-ul-Qadeer chapter 4 page 74, the following: “This is a promise from Allah (SWT) to those who believed in Allah and performed good deeds, that He will grant them authority over the whole world, as He did grant it to former nations. This promise applies to the whole of the Ummah, it has been claimed that the promise was specific to the Sahabah, but there is no proof to substantiate such a claim, for the belief and the performing of good deeds is not restricted among the Sahabah, but open to every individual from among the Ummah.” So the Messenger of Allah (saw) has foretold the re-establishment of the Khilafah and the dominance of this Deen, Allah (swt) has promised us the Victory and we have a Shari’ah that Allah has blessed us with guiding us upon how to resume the Khilafah.
Zaidi ya haya, Mtume (saw) alitabiri kwamba kutakuwepo kundi maalum la watu, kikundi kilichofungamana na Aqeedah ya Uislamu, kinachosimama imara dhidi ya madhalimu, kisichoyumba kutoka katika Dini ya Uislamu, na kinachobaki juu ya Haqq bila kujali wale wanaotofautiana nao, wala wale wanaowatelekeza; nao watapata mateso, majaribu na mitihani dhidi ya madhalimu, lakini watashikamana na Dini ya Uislamu, watapata ushindi, na watasimamisha utawala wa Allah na Dini yake duniani.
More than this the Messenger (saw) foretold that a distinct band of people, a Party bonded around the Aqeedah of Islam standing firm against the tyrants not deviating from the Deen of Islam and remaining upon the Haq without caring for those that differ with them, nor those that abandon them; and they will suffer the afflictions trials and tribulations against the tyrants but will stick to the Deen of Islam and will be victorious and establish the order of Allah and his Deen upon the Earth.
Imam Ahmed katika Musnad yake na Abu Dawud katika Sunan yake wamesimulia kwa mamlaka ya Thawban: "Daima katika Ummah wangu kutakuwepo kundi (Taifa) litakalobaki juu ya Haq, likishinda, na halitadhurika na wale wanaotofautiana nao mpaka amri ya Allah itakapokuja." Na katika simulizi nyingine kutoka kwa Imam Ahmed, badala ya "Ummah wangu" imesemwa "Waislamu". Tirmidhi anaongeza: "wale wanaowaacha hawatawadhuru."
Imam Ahmed in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan narrated on the authority of Thawban “There will always be in my Ummah a Party (Taifa) who will remain upon the Haq, victorious, and will not be harmed by those who differ with them until the order of Allah comes” and in another narration from Imam Ahmed, Muslims’. Tirmidhi adds “ those who abandon them will not harm them”.
Muslim na Bukhari wamepokea kupitia kwa Muawiya ambaye alisema: Nilimsikia Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ akisema, “Kundi (Taifa) miongoni mwa Umma wangu litasimama imara kwa amri ya Allah (qaimat bi amrillah); hawatadhurika kwa wale wanaowaacha au wanaopingana nao, mpaka amri ya Allah itakapokuja nao watakuwa washindi juu ya watu.”
Muslim and Bukhari have related through Muawiya who said: I heard the Messenger if Allah (saw) say, “A Party (Taifa) from my Ummah will be established upon the order of Allah (qaimat bi amrillah) they will not be harmed by those who abandon them or differ with them, until the order of Allah comes and they are victorious over the people”.
Bukhari, Muslim na Imam Ahmad katika Musnad yake pia wamesimulia kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: “Kutakuwepo katika Ummah wangu kundi (Ummatun) lililosimama juu ya amri ya Allah; wale wanaowapinga au kuwaacha hawataweza kuwadhuru hadi amri ya Allah itakapokuja nao wakiwa katika hali hiyo.” Muadh ibn Jabal (ra) alisema: “Wao wako Ash-Sham.”
Bukhari, Muslim and Imam Ahmad in his Musnad have also narrated that the Prophet (saw) said: “There will be from within my Ummah a Party (Ummatun) established upon the order of Allah, those who differ with them or abandon them will not be able to harm them until the order of Allah comes and they are upon it”. Muadh ibn Jabal (ra) stated “they are in ash Sham”.
Imam Ahmad na al-Tabarani walisimulia kwa mnyororo wa wasimulizi waaminifu (Rijal al-Thiqa), kwa mamlaka ya Abu Umama, ambaye alisema kwamba Mtume ﷺ alisema: "Kutakuwepo kikundi miongoni mwa Ummah wangu ambacho kitapata ushindi juu ya Dini (ya Uislamu), nao watawashinda maadui zao. Hawatadhurika na wale wanaopingana nao isipokuwa yale yatakayowapata katika mitihani na mateso, hadi amri ya Allah (SWT) itakapofika nao wakiwa bado katika msimamo huo."
Wasimulizi kisha walimuuliza Mtume ﷺ: "Ee Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ, wako wapi?" Naye akasema: "Wako Bayt al-Maqdis na maeneo yanayoizunguka."
Imam Ahmed and Tabarani narrated through a chain with reliable narrators (Rijal al Thiqa) on the authority of Abu Umama who said that the Prophet (saw) said, “There will be a Party from my Ummah who will be Victorious upon the Deen (of Islam), and they will defeat their enemies, they will not be harmed by those who differ with them except what strikes from trials and tribulations until the order of Allah comes and they are upon it.” The narrators then asked the Prophet (saw): O Messenger of Allah (saw) where are they? And he said: “They are in Bayt al Maqdis and the surrounding areas”.
Ibn Majah katika Sunan yake amepokea kutoka kwa Abu Hurayra, kwa mapokezi ya Nabii ﷺ, kwamba: "Kutakuwepo Kundi (Taifa) katika Ummah wangu lililosimama kwa amri ya Allah, na hawatadhuriwa na wale wanaopingana nao."
Imam al-Hakim katika al-Mustadrak yake ameeleza kwa mnyororo wa wapokezi ulio sahihi, kwa mapokezi ya Umar ibn al-Khattab (ra), kwamba: "Kutakuwepo Kundi (Taifa) katika Ummah wangu litakalobaki likiwa na ushindi juu ya Haki hadi Saa itakaposimama."
Imepokewa na al-Darimi kutoka kwa Mughira ibn Shu'ba (ra), aliyesema kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Kutakuwepo kikundi cha watu (Qawm) katika Ummah huu ambao watajitokeza miongoni mwa watu hadi amri ya Allah itakapokuja nao wakiwa washindi."
Imam Ahmad ametoa katika Musnad yake (5-114) kwa mapokezi ya Ubayy ibn Abi Ka'b (ra) aliyesema: Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema: "Waletee habari njema Ummah huu, utakuwa na nguvu, heshima, Dini, ushindi na mamlaka duniani. Basi yeyote aliyefanya kazi ili apate thawabu za maisha haya badala ya Akhera, hatakuwa na thawabu yoyote Akhera."
Ibn Majah in his Sunan has related from Abu Hurayara on the authority of the Prophet (saaw), “There will be a Party (Taifa) from my Ummah established upon the order of Allah and they will not be harmed by those who differ with them.” Imam al Hakim in his Mustadrak has related with an authentic sanad (chain) on the authority of Umar ibn al Khattab (ra), “There will be a Party (Taifa) from my Ummah that will remain victorious upon the Truth until the establishment of the Hour” It has been related by Darimi from Mugheerah ibn Shuba (ra) who said that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “There will a band of people (Qaumun) from this Ummah who will be manifest from the people until the order of Allah comes and they are victorious” Imam Ahmad extracted in his Musnad (5-114) on the authority of Ubay ibn Abi Ka’ab (RA) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Bring glad tidings to this Ummah, she will have the power, the pride, the Deen, the victory and the authority on earth. So he who worked to reap the rewards in this life rather than in the Hereafter, he would have no reward in the Hereafter.”
