Authentic 3 scholars’ grades Jami' at-Tirmidhi 2171

Narrator:Umm Salamah

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِي يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ لَعَلَّ فِيهِمُ الْمُكْرَهَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏

"‏ إِنَّهُمْ يُبْعَثُونَ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ ‏"

Umm Salamah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) mentioned the army that the earth would swallow, so Umm Salamah said:

'Perhaps there are those among them who are averse to it." He said: "They will be resurrected on their intentions."

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 2171), Ibn Majah (No. 4065) and Ahmad (No. 25270).
