Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4476 — Islam will remain until the command

وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، ثَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحَضْرَمِيَّ أَيَّامَ ابْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ يَخْطُبُ ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ ، أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ فُلَانًا أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : يَكُونُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ آخِرِ أُمَّتِي يُعْطَوْنَ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلَ مَا يُعْطَى أَوَّلُهُمْ ، يُقَاتِلُونَ أَهْلَ الْفِتَنِ ، يُنْكِرُونَ الْمُنْكَرَ " وَأَنْتُمْ هُمْ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ : أَخْطَأَتِ اسْتُكَ الْحُفْرَةَ .
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman al-Hadrami that during the days (of the uprising) of Ibn al-Ash'ath he said while delivering a sermon: "O people of Sham! Rejoice, for so-and-so has informed me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'In the last period of my Ummah there will be people who will be given a share of reward like that given to its first ones (the righteous predecessors); they will fight those involved in the trials and will root out evils.' And (O people of Sham!) you are those people." On hearing this, Abu al-Bakhtari said to him: "Your backside has missed the hole (that is, you have missed the mark and said something entirely wrong and out of place)."
Imam Musaddad narrated this narration in his Musnad. Allamah al-Busiri declared its chain da'if (weak) in Ithaf al-Khiyarah al-Maharah because of the confusion (ikhtilat, deterioration of memory) of Ata bin al-Sa'ib; however, some supporting reports for the theme of reward for the last people of the Ummah also exist in other books of hadith.
