His statement (men from my Ummah): Does this not indicate that they are after the Companions?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : His statement:

Men from my Ummah

رجال من أمتي

Does this not indicate that they are people after the Companions?

The Shaykh : No, because it is not possible for my Companions to be [the ones referred to], because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

I wish we could see our brothers. The Companions said, O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers? He said, No, you are my Companions, and my brothers are a group who will come after you and believe in me, though they will not see me.

ليتنا نرى إخواننا قال الصحابة يا رسول الله ألسنا إخوانك ، قال : لا أنتم أصحابي وإخواني قوم يأتون بعد ويؤمنون بي وهم لا يرونني
