حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْجَرَّاحُ بْنُ مَلِيحٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَکْرُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ وَکَانَ قَدْ صَلَّی الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ يَغْرِسُ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ غَرْسًا يَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ فِي طَاعَتِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 8
Bakr bin Zur’ah said: “I heard Abu ‘Inabah Al-Khawlâni, who had prayed facing both prayer directions (Qiblah) with the Messenger of Allah , say: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) say: Allah will continue to plant new people in this religion and use them in His obedience’.” (Hasan)
