The Hadeeth on the merit of the people of Jerusalem

29-11-2007 | IslamWeb

Question:

Is there a Hadeeth about the people of Jerusalem where it gives them the glad tidings that they will be among the people of paradise because of the oppression that they will suffer?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and messenger.

 

At-Tabaraani and Imaam ‘Abdullaah, son of Imaam Ahmad may Allaah have mercy upon them narrated on the authority of Abu Umaamah may Allaah be pleased with him that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, stated that there will always remain a group from this Ummah firmly serving and adhering to Islam, and dominating their enemies until their death. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, stated that those people will be in Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.  

Allaah Knows best.
