I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام saying: I asked Allah about Ismail – that he should preserve him to remain after me – but He refused, however, He has given me another position for him, he (Ismail) will be the first one to be resurrected with ten of his companions, among them Abdallah b. Sharik, and he (Abdallah) will be the man who carries his banner.
