May Allah accept our beloved Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki as Shaheed & have him enter Jannatul Firdous - Allah huma Ameen.
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: "Some people will come on the Day of Judgement and their Imaan will be outstanding, it's light will shine from their chests and from their right hands.
So it will be said to them, 'Glad tidings for you today, Assalamu 'alaikum and Goodness for you, Enter into it (Jannah) forever!'
So the Angels and the Prophets will be jealous of the Love of Allah for them."
So the Sahabah asked, "Who are they, Ya Rasoolullah?"
He (pbuh) replied, "They are not from us and they are not from you. You are my companions but they are my beloved. They will come after you and will find the Book (the Qur'an) made redundant by the people, and a Sunnah which has been killed by them. So they will grab hold of the Book and the Sunnah and revive them. So they read them and teach them (the Qur'an and the Sunnah) to the people and they will experience in that path a punishment more severe and more ugly than what you (O Sahabah) have experienced. Indeed the Imaan of one of them is equivalent to the Imaan of forty of you. The Shaheed of one of them is equivalent to forty of your Shuhadaa'. Because you found a helper towards the truth (the Prophet) and they will find no helper towards the truth. So they will be surrounded by tyrant rulers in every place, and they will be in the surroundings of Bait-ul-Maqdis (Al-Quds, Masjid al-Aqsa). The Nussrah (Help and Victory) of Allah will come to them, and they will have the honour of it on their hands."
Then he (pbuh) said, "O Allah, give them the Nussrah and make them my close friends in Jannah."
(Reported by Ahmed in Musnad al-Imaam Ahmad, chain no. 77, Hadeeth no. 17561. Hasan according to Ibn Hajr al-Haythami)

Waalaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullah,
DeleteJazak Allah khair wa BarakAllahu feek for linking us Alhumdulillah to the status of this so-called narration.
Since we ourselves do not have the excess or means of finding out it’s authenticity we as well cannot confirm if this really is a Hadith or not and we too took it and pasted it on our Blog from somewhere we trusted at that time but since Islamweb have Scholars who personally have searched and verified it’s status that no such Hadith exists except some other Ahadith with similar meanings then we take as they say Insha’Allah. And it’s always best to stay on the safe side instead of falling into the category of being considered as lying on the Prophet ﷺ - Astaghfirullah !
May Allah forgive us all for our sins, faults, flaws and shortcomings - Allahumma Ameen!
We will Insha’Allah keep this post as is so if any reader searches this so-called narration on the internet and it leads them here then they can read your comment and know the reality of it Insha’Allah.
