Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said:

When Allah Almighty revealed the Tawrah to His Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, he began reciting this beloved heavenly book. Within it, he read about the virtues of a particular Ummah. After reading those virtues, Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم submitted in the court of Allah, “O Allah! There is mention in the Tawrah of an Ummah that will be the last to appear but will be the foremost in righteous deeds. O Allah! Make that my Ummah.”

Allah Almighty replied, تِلْكَ أُمَّةُ أَحْمَد “O Mūsā! This is the Ummah of My beloved Prophet Aḥmad al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”

Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم again spoke, “O Allah! I read in the Tawrah of an Ummah for whom intercession will be accepted. O Lord! Make that Ummah mine.”

Allah Almighty responded, تِلْكَ أُمَّةُ أَحْمَد “O Mūsā! This is the Ummah of My beloved Prophet Aḥmad al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”

Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم  again pleaded, “O Most Merciful Lord! I read in the Tawrah of an Ummah whose supplications will be answered. O Allah! Make them my Ummah.”

Allah Almighty stated, تِلْكَ أُمَّةُ أَحْمَد  “O Mūsā! This is the Ummah of My beloved Prophet Aḥmad al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”

Sayyidunā Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم again said, “O Allah!  I read in the Tawrah about an Ummah whose book (the noble Quran) will reside in their hearts, and they will recite it continuously. O Allah! Make them my Ummah.”

Allah Almighty responded, تِلْكَ أُمَّةُ أَحْمَد  “O Mūsā! This is the Ummah of My beloved Prophet Aḥmad al-Muṣṭafā صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.”
