English translation

1956. It was narrated from 'Uqbah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out one day and offered the funeral prayer for the people of Uḥud, then he went to the Minbar and said: "I am your predecessor and I am a witness over you." (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

1954 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَوْمًا فَصَلَّى عَلَى أَهْلِ أُحُدٍ صَلَاتَهُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ: «إِنِّي فَرَطٌ لَكُمْ وَأَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَيْكُمْ»

Commentary

1. "Your preceeder": there is an implicit hint here of the Prophet's ﷺ departure from this world. The preceeder signifies the one who preceds or goes first; goes before the people or the caravan for the purpose of making arrangements (for instance, residence, water, and other basic necessities, etc.); and he is appointed for this task. 2. Witness or testimony: Allāh, Most High, Himself, is All-Aware of everything. But the testimony of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ will be sought in favor of the Companions, and that will be in order to exalt and honor them; this testimony will be heard by each and every nation or Ummah. May Allāh be pleased with them and they be pleased also.
