Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَيَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَقُولُ أَمِيرُهُمْ تَعَالَ صَلِّ بِنَا فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ أُمَرَاءُ تَكْرِمَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told me, he said Ibn Jurayj: Abu al-Zubayr informed me, that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A group of my nation will continue fighting for the truth, victorious, until the Day of Resurrection. He said: Then Jesus, son of Mary (peace and blessings be upon him), will descend, and their leader will say: Come, lead us in prayer. He will say: No, some of you are leaders over others, as an honor from Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to this nation.
