Here's the first part from the new series "Explanation of the Hadeeth".
Imaam Ahmad- rahimahullaah- reported in his ?Musnad? (3/155): "Haashim ibn al-Qaasim narrated to us: Jasr [in the printed text there occurs: Hasan]: narrated to us: from Thaabit: from Anas ibn Maalik who said: Allaah?s Messenger said:
"I would love to meet my brothers."
He said: So he said:
"The Companions of the Prophet: Are we not your brothers?"
So he said:
"You are my Companions; however my brothers are those who believed in me, but did not see me."
Translated by Aboo Talhah Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank. May Allaah reward him.
