Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَسَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ لُقْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْبَهْرَانِيِّ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ عِصَابَتَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَحْرَزَهُمَا اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ عِصَابَةٌ تَغْزُو الْهِنْدَ وَعِصَابَةٌ تَكُونُ مَعَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahim reported to me; he said: Asad ibn Musa narrated to us; he said: Baqiyyah narrated to us; he said: Abu Bakr al-Zubaydi narrated to me, from his brother Muhammad ibn al-Walid, from Luqman ibn Amir, from Abd al-Ala ibn Adi al-Bahrani, from Thawban, the client of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah has protected two groups from my community from the Fire: a group that campaigns in India, and a group that will be with Jesus son of Mary, peace be upon them both.

Translation notes
  • The Arabic uses عصابتان, two groups or contingents; the wording for the second group is future-oriented: those who will be with Jesus son of Mary.
