باب بَيَانِ مَعْنٰي قَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : «عَلٰي رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ لَّا يَبْقٰي نَفْسٌ مَّنْفُوسَةٌ مِّمَّنْ هُوَ مَوْجُودٌ الْآنَ »Chapter: The Meaning Of The Words Of The Prophet (SAW): "After One Hundred Years There Will Be No Soul Left Alive That Is Living Now"
Hadith 2538
حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِشَهْرٍ : " تَسْأَلُونِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ، وَإِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ، وَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ " .
Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying this one month before his death: You asked me about the Last Hour whereas its knowledge is with Allah. I, however, take an oath and say that none upon the earth, the created beings (from amongst my Companions), would survive at the end of one hundred years.

وحَدَّثَنِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Ibn Juraij with the same chain of transmitters, but there is no mention of the words:" one month before his death".

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَي بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى كلاهما ، عَنْ الْمُعْتَمِرِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ أَوْ نَحْوِ ذَلِكَ : " مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ الْيَوْمَ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَهِيَ حَيَّةٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ " . وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ صَاحِبِ السِّقَايَةِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ، وَفَسَّرَهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : نَقْصُ الْعُمُرِ .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying one mouth before his death (or something like it): None amongst the created beings who had been living by that time (during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) .... 'Abdul Rahman has interpreted these words of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as: The ages (of the people) would be diminished.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ ، بِالْإِسْنَادَيْنِ جَمِيعًا مِثْلَهُ .
This hadith has been reported on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi through other chains of transmitters.

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ تَبْلُغُ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ " ، فَقَالَ سَالِمٌ : تَذَاكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ عِنْدَهُ ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَخْلُوقَةٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ .
Jabir bin 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: None amongst the created beings (from my Companions) would survive after one hundred years. Salim said: We made a mention of it to him (Jabir), whereupon he said: It means those who had been living on that day.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The meaning of "after the return from the Battle of Tabuk" is not that this question was asked immediately afterwards; rather, it simply means that the question was asked sometime after that event. From the narration of Jabir radi Allahu anhu, it is understood that this occurred in the last days of the Prophet's sallallahu alayhi wa sallam life. In response, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not inform about the time of the Day of Judgment for the entire world; rather, he mentioned the "Day of Judgment" (death) for those present at that time, indicating that one should be concerned about one's own end.
