Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ جُنْدُبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَوْفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَطَلَعَتْ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ يَأْتِي اللَّهَ قَوْمٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نُورُهُمْ كَنُورِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَحْنُ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا وَلَكُمْ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ الْفُقَرَاءُ وَالْمُهَاجِرُونَ الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ مِنْ أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ وَقَالَ طُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ طُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ طُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ فَقِيلَ مَنْ الْغُرَبَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَاسٌ صَالِحُونَ فِي نَاسِ سَوْءٍ كَثِيرٍ مَنْ يَعْصِيهِمْ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّنْ يُطِيعُهُمْ.
English Translation
Qutaybah told us: Ibn Lahi'ah told us, from al-Harith ibn Yazid, from Jundub ibn Abdullah, from Sufyan ibn Awf, from Abdullah ibn Amr, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the sun rose, and he said: A people will come to Allah on the Day of Resurrection whose light will be like the light of the sun. Abu Bakr said: Are we they, O Messenger of Allah? He said: No, but you have much good; rather, they are the poor and the emigrants who will be gathered from the corners of the earth. And he said: Blessed are the strangers, blessed are the strangers, blessed are the strangers. It was asked: Who are the strangers, O Messenger of Allah? He said: Righteous people among a great many wicked people; those who disobey them are more numerous than those who obey them.
