Abu Zinad reported from Araj, from Abu Hurairah, who traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ, who said, "We are the last to come, yet we will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrection, except that every nation was given the Scripture before us, and we were given it after them. Then this is the day which Allah prescribed upon them, but they differed concerning it, and Allah guided us to it. So all people follow us in this matter. The Jews have tomorrow, and the Christians the day after."One of the two narrators said "bayda anna" while the other said "bayida."

We have already discussed it in detail and referred to that discussion there.As for its statement at the end, "and the other one said," in H it reads, "and others said," which is clearly an error. We have corrected it based on K and M.Here in S there is a note reading, "end of the second part, and beginning of the third." This refers to the division of the volume containing the musnad of Abu Hurairah into separate parts.
