Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا جَسْرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي قَالَ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَلَيْسَ نَحْنُ إِخْوَانَكَ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي وَلَكِنْ إِخْوَانِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي.
English Translation
Hashim ibn al-Qasim told us, Jasr told us, from Thabit, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "I wish that I could meet my brothers." The Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Are we not your brothers?" He said, "You are my Companions, but my brothers are those who believe in me without having seen me."
