Hadith 106
اُردوEn
عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا يَبْقَى عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ كَلِمَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ بِعِزِّ عَزِيزٍ أَوْ ذُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ، إِمَّا يُعِزُّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَيَجْعَلُهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا أَوْ يُذِلُّهُمْ فَيَدِينُونَ لَهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There will not remain a house made of bricks nor a tent on the face of the earth except that Allah Almighty will cause the word of Islam to enter it. This will be with the honor of the honorable or the humiliation of the humiliated. Its explanation is that Allah Almighty will grant honor to some people by making them the people of Islam, and He will humiliate some people in such a way that they too (eventually) will become obedient to it."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of “with the honor of the Honorable” is that Allah, the Exalted, will grant some people the ability (tawfiq), and they will willingly and gladly embrace Islam even before being captured or fighting. The meaning of “with the humiliation of the Humiliated” is that some will be compelled to accept Islam as a result of being captured or fighting, whether their hearts are content with it or not. Nevertheless, it has generally been observed that such people become excellent Muslims and attain a good end. This is the meaning derived from the statement of Allah, the Exalted: {ھُوَ الَّذِیْ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَہٗ بِالْھُدٰی وَدِیْنِ الْحَقِّ لِیُظْہِرَہٗ عَلَی الدِّیْنِ کُلِّہٖ وَکَفٰی بِاللّٰہِ شَہِیْدًا۔} … He it is Who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth so that He may make it prevail over every religion, and Allah is sufficient as a Witness. (Surah al-Fath: 28)
The prophecy mentioned in this blessed hadith will be fulfilled in the last era, when ‘Isa (alayhis salam) will descend from the heavens and kill the Dajjal. At that time, there will remain no abode of disbelief (dar al-kufr) on the face of the earth; rather, all people will become Muslims, and those who do not become Muslim will be killed. The following narration supports this view:
Sayyidah A’ishah (radi Allahu anha) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say: ((Lā yadhhabu al-laylu wa al-nahāru ḥattā tu‘bada al-Lāt wa al-‘Uzzā)) … The cycle of night and day will not end until al-Lat and al-‘Uzza are worshipped. I said: O Messenger of Allah! When Allah, the Exalted, revealed this verse {ھُوَ الَّذِیْ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَہٗ بِالْھُدٰی وَدِیْنِ الْحَقِّ … }, I thought that this religion was now going to be completed. He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: As much of it as Allah wills will certainly happen (i.e., Islam will remain dominant and enforced), then Allah, the Exalted, will send a pure wind, due to which every person who has even a mustard seed’s weight of faith in his heart will die. After that, only those people will remain in whom there is no good; they will return to the religion of their forefathers. (Sahih Muslim: 52/2907)
