Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ عَنْ وَفَاءَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ أَنَس
ِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِيكُمْ خَيْرًا مِنْكُمْ يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَتَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيكُمْ الْأَحْمَرُ وَالْأَبْيَضُ وَالْعَرَبِيُّ وَالْعَجَمِيُّ وَسَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ يَقْرَءُونَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ يَتَثَقَّفُونَهُ كَمَا يَتَثَقَّفُ الْقَدَحُ يَتَعَجَّلُونَ أُجُورَهُمْ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُونَهَا

Yahya ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah informed us, from Bakr ibn Sawadah, from Wafa' al-Khawlani, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه), from the Prophet ﷺ, that he came out to them and said: 'Among you are those who are better than you' — meaning those who will come after you — 'They will come to you, and among them will be people who will find the Book (the Quran) before them, and they will believe in it.'
