حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُدْعَى نُوحٌ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيُدْعَى قَوْمُهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَتَانَا مِنْ نَذِيرٍ أَوْ مَا أَت
َانَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لِنُوحٍ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ قَالَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ { وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا } قَالَ الْوَسَطُ الْعَدْلُ قَالَ فَيُدْعَوْنَ فَيَشْهَدُونَ لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكُمْ

English Translation
Waki' narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Nuh (عليه السلام) will be called on the Day of Resurrection and will say: Here I am at Your service, O Lord. He will be asked: Did you convey the message? He will say: Yes. His nation will then be asked: Did he convey the message to you? They will say: No warner came to us. He (Allah) will say: Who will be your witnesses? He will say: Muhammad ﷺ and his ummah. So they will testify that he conveyed the message.' And that is the meaning of His statement: {Thus We have made you a middle (just) nation, that you may be witnesses over mankind} [al-Baqarah 2:143].
