Bro Maripat, I admit not hearing that hadith before... I tried to google the word Ahabah and it says it's hebrew... What is Ahabah?

This is an ecstatic Hadith. I read it in one of the books by Hakim Akhtar Sahab(DB). If you read Urdu then I may try to search the narration in his books otherwise I'll request knowledgeable brothers to chip in. The story is as follows. Sahabah were sitting surrounding beloved Prophet . At a point he restlessly said that I am very eager to meet my Ahabah. When am I going to meet them? Sahabah asked Ya Rasoolallah are we not your Ahabah? He said no you are my Sahabah. You declared your faith in my Prophethood because you saw my character with your own eyes. My Ahabah are the people who'll come after you but they will believe me without having seen me.

Thus our beloved Prophet gave us his personal attention-by default it had to be in absentia.

And I stand corrected by the knowledgeable.

Wassalam
