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.
Let there become of you a nation who invites to all that is good, enjoin the doing of what is right, and forbid what is wrong. Such are they who shall prosper.
(3: 104)
They want to extinguish God’s light with their mouths, but God will not allow anything [to interfere with His will] to spread His light in its fullness, however hateful this may be to the unbelievers. (32) It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, so that He may cause it to prevail over all [other] religions, however hateful this may be to the idolaters.
(9: 32-33)
