4487. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Nūh (Noah) will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, 'Labbaik and Sa'daik (I respond to Your Call and I am obedient to You Orders), O my Lord!' Allāh will say, 'Did you convey Our Message (of Islāmic Monotheism)?' Nūh will say, 'Yes.' His nation will then be asked, 'Did he convey Our Message of Islāmic Monotheism to you?' They will say, 'No warner came to us.' Then Allāh will say (to Nūh), 'Who will bear witness in your favour?' He will say, 'Muhammad (ﷺ) and his followers.' So they (i.e., Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) will be a witness over you, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allāh: 'Thus We have made of you [true Muslims—real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his Sunna (legal ways)], a just (and the best) nation, that you may be witnesses over mankind, and the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) will be a witness over you...' (V.2:143)
