The hadith you mentioned is a well-known hadith in Islamic tradition, which states that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that those who remain content with their state of being among his nation will be among his companions on the Day of Resurrection. This hadith is often interpreted as a reference to the Sufis, who are known for their contentment and detachment from worldly desires.<br /><br />However, it is important to note that the hadith does not explicitly mention the Sufis or the Companions of the Messenger of Allah. The hadith simply states that those who remain content with their state of being will be among the Prophet's companions on the Day of Resurrection.<br /><br />It is also important to note that the hadith is narrated through a chain of transmission that includes several well-known scholars and narrators, but it is not considered a strong hadith due to the weakness of some of the narrators.<br /><br />In conclusion, while the hadith is often interpreted as a reference to the Sufis, it does not explicitly mention them or the Companions of the Messenger of Allah. The hadith simply states that those who remain content with their state of being will be among the Prophet's companions on the Day of Resurrection.
