Sahih al-Bukhari 4286 (Book 65, Hadith 14)
Sa`daik, O my Lord!’ Allah will say, ‘Did you convey the Message?’ Noah will say, ‘Yes.’ His nation
will then be asked, ‘Did he convey the Message to you?’ They will say, ‘No Warner came to us.’ Then
Allah will say (to Noah), ‘Who will bear witness in your favor?’ He will say, ‘Muhammad and his
followers. So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Apostle
(Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah
“Thus We have made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and
the Apostle (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 4286 (Book 65, Hadith 14)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
