8. Bakr bin Zur'ah said: "I heard Abu Inabah Al-Khawláni, who had prayed facing both prayer directions (Qiblah) with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, say: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: Allâh will continue to plant new people in this religion and use them in His obedience'." (Hasan)
8 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجَرَّاحُ بْنُ مَلِيحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ زُرْعَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِنَبَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ، وَكَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ، مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ يَغْرِسُ فِي هَذَا الدِّينِ غَرْسًا يَسْتَعْمِلُهُمْ فِي طَاعَتِهِ»

a. Abu Inabah Al-Khawláni ﷺ, a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ, is among the earliest entrants into Islam. He, like so many other Companions, prayed for sixteen or seventeen months facing Jerusalem before the revelation came for the change of direction (Qiblah) towards the Sacred House of Allâh in Makkah. b. Spread of Islam has not been a transitory phenomenon restricted to a particular period in history. People of different religious persuasions have all along been entering and, Allâh willing, will continue to enter its fold, and the Muslim Ummah shall continue to benefit by their capabilities.
