Sunan Ibn Majah 4284 (Book 37, Hadith 185) #33640
The Witness of Prophet Muhammad and His Nation

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that the Prophet Muhammad and his nation will be witnesses for those who have conveyed the message of Allah to their people.

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A Prophet will come accompanied by two men, and a Prophet will come accompanied by three, and (some will come) with more or less than that. It will be said to him: 'Did you convey the message to your people?’ And he will say: 'Yes.’ Then his people will be called and it will be said: 'Did he convey the message to you?’ They will say: 'No.’ Then it will be said: 'Who will bear witness for you?’ He will say: 'Muhammad and his nation.’ So the nation of Muhammad will be called and it will be said: 'Did this man convey the message?’ They will say: 'Yes.’ He will say: 'How did you know that?’ They will say: 'Our Prophet told us that the Messengers had conveyed the message, and we believed him.’ This is what Allah says: "Thus We have made you, a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) be a witness over you.’" 2:143
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ ‏"‏ يَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَعَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الرَّجُلاَنِ وَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ وَمَعَهُ الثَّلاَثَةُ وَأَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَقَلُّ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ قَوْمَكَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَيُدْعَى قَوْمُهُ فَيُقَالُ هَلَ بَلَّغَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ لاَ ‏.‏ فَيُقَالُ مَنْ شَهِدَ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ ‏.‏ فَتُدْعَى أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ فَيُقَالُ هَلْ بَلَّغَ هَذَا فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ وَمَا عِلْمُكُمْ بِذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا نَبِيُّنَا بِذَلِكَ أَنَّ الرُّسُلَ قَدْ بَلَّغُوا فَصَدَّقْنَاهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَذَلِكُمْ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ‏{وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how the Prophet Muhammad and his nation will be witnesses for those who have conveyed the message of Allah to their people. It is narrated by Abu Saeed, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad, that he said that some prophets will come with two or three men, and some with more or less than that. They will be asked if they have conveyed Allah's message to their people, and if they say yes then their people will be called upon to testify whether this is true or not. If they say no then it is up to the prophet himself and his nation as witnesses for him. This hadith also references a verse from Surah Al-Baqarah in which Allah says “Thus We have made you, a just (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind” [ 2:143 ]. This verse emphasizes how important it is for Muslims to bear witness when necessary in order to uphold justice in society. It also shows us how important it is for us as Muslims to believe in our prophets without any doubt because we know that they are truthful in conveying God's message.
