English translation
680. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw that the Companions were distancing themselves (from the first rows). So he said: "Come forward so that you may follow me, and those behind you may follow the Mighty and Sublime, you. And there will be a group of people who will continue to distance themselves until Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, distances them." (Sahih)
