عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رضي الله عنه، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَا يَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ» وفي رواية: «لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللهِ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ»
Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
1. There will always remain a group of my community standing firm. They will remain thus standing firm until God’s decree is done. 2. In a different version: A group of my community will continue to implement God’s decree, unperturbed by whoever lets them down or opposes them until God’s decree is done with them in a position of triumph over all people.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) states that the religion of Islam will continue until the end of time. It will be upheld by people who will advocate it, unperturbed by whoever opposes them or tries to suppress them.
