باب قَوْلِهِ ﷺ: لاَ تَأْتِي مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ مَنْفُوسَةٌ الْيَوْمَHis Saying: No One Alive Today Will Remain After a Hundred Years
Hadith 1648
اُردوEn
1648 صحيح حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: صلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ العِشَاءَ، في آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ، فَقَالَ: «أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ لَيْلَتَكُمْ هذِهِ؟ فَإِنَّ رَأْسَ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مِنْهَا، لاَ يَبْقَى، مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ، أَحَدٌ»
Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that towards the end of his life (once) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Isha prayer. When he finished the prayer with salam, he stood up and said: "Tonight is such a night that from tonight until the end of one hundred years, no person who is on the earth will remain (alive)."
Brief Explanation
The meaning is that all the people who are alive on this night will be gone by the end of one hundred years; the negation of life here does not refer to the generations that will be born after this night. According to the scholars, this is the intended meaning, and this is what is apparent from the words themselves. Accordingly, the last Companion, Abu Tufayl ‘Amir ibn Wathilah radi Allahu anhu, passed away exactly one hundred years later at the age of 110. (Raaz)
