Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘We are the last (in time) but the first (in rank) on the Day of Resurrection, though they were given the Scripture before us and we were given it after them. This is the day (Friday) that was prescribed for them, but they differed about it. So Allah guided us to it, and the people follow us: the Jews tomorrow and the Christians the day after.’" [Agreed upon]
In a narration by Muslim: ‘We are the last (in time) but the first (in rank) on the Day of Resurrection, and we will be the first to enter Paradise.’
In another narration by Muslim from Abu Hurairah and Hudhaifah: ‘We are the last of the people of this world but the first on the Day of Resurrection, and it has been decreed for us before all creation.’
