Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، بْنِ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ عُمَيْرَ بْنَ هَانِئٍ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ لاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Mansur ibn Abi Muzahim narrated to us: Yahya ibn Hamzah narrated to us, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid ibn Jabir, that Umayr ibn Hani narrated to him. He said: I heard Muawiyah, on the pulpit, say: I heard the Messenger of Allah say: “A group of my community will continue to uphold the command of Allah. Those who abandon or oppose them will not harm them, until the command of Allah comes, while they are prevailing over the people.”
