10. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Aysam Bin Asheym, from Muawiya Bin Ammar have said the following: Abu Abdullah said: ‘One day the Prophet ﷺ came out having received good news, smiling joyfully. So the people said to him, ‘May Allah keep you smiling for the whole life, O Messenger of Allah, and increase your joy’. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘There is no day or night except that I receive a gift from Allah. Indeed! Allah has gifted to me in this day of mine with a Gift which He has never Gifted to me the like of it in the past.

Gabriel came to me and conveyed greetings to me from my Lord and said: ‘O Muhammad! Allah Mighty and Majestic has chosen seven from the Clan of Hashim that He has never created anyone similar to them from the past nor will He be creating anyone like them in the future. You, O Messenger of Allah are the Chief of the Prophets, and Ali Bin Abu Talib is your Successor and the Chief of the successors, and Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn your grandsons are the Chiefs of the grandsons, and Hamza your uncle is the Chief of the martyrs, and Ja’far the son of your uncle is the flyer in the Paradise flying along with the angels wherever he desires to, and among you all is Al-Qaim behind whom Isa bin Maryam will be praying when Allah sends him down to the earth. He will be from the descendants of Ali and Fatima from the sons of Al-Husayn ’.
