حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْأَفْطَسِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ وَهْبًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ عَدَنِ أَبْيَنَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا يَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ هُمْ خَيْرُ مَنْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ قَالَ لِي مَعْمَرٌ اذْهَبْ فَاسْأَلْهُ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3079
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "There will emerge from 'Adan Abyan [a place in Yemen] twelve thousand who support (the religion of) Allah and His Messenger. They are the best of people between me and them.” Ma'mar said to me: Go and ask him about this hadeeth.
