The Brothers of the Prophet (s.a.w.)
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Imam Ahmad ibn Muhammad Hanbal ( r.a. ) recorded, in his Musnad , “Anas ibn Malik ( r.a. ) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ( s.a.w. ) said, ‘I wish that I could meet my brothers.’ The companions asked, ‘Are we not your brothers?’ He replied, ‘You are my companions, but my brothers are those who will believe in me without having seen me.’”
