Sahih al-Bukhari 3649

ʿAli ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from ʿAmr, who said: I heard Jabir ibn ʿAbdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: Abu Saʿid al-Khudri narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “A time will come upon people when groups of them go on military campaigns. They will be asked, ‘Is there anyone among you who accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ They will say, ‘Yes,’ and victory will be granted to them. Then a time will come when groups of people go on campaigns and they will be asked, ‘Is there anyone among you who accompanied the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ They will say, ‘Yes,’ and victory will be granted to them. Then a time will come when groups of people go on campaigns and they will be asked, ‘Is there anyone among you who accompanied those who accompanied the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ They will say, ‘Yes,’ and victory will be granted to them.”
