Arabic text

أبي - رحمه الله - قال حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن أبي الجهم هارون بن الجهم، عن حفص بن عمر، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سئل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عن جماعة أمته ، فقال: جماعة أمتي أهل الحق وإن قلوا.

Translation

1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from his father, from Abu’l-Jahm, Harun bin Jahm, from Hafs bin Umar, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, was asked about the community of this nation, so he said: The community of my nation are the people of truth, even if they were a few.
