Hadith 5617

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ ، قَالَ : " أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَيْلَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ ، فإِنَّ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مِنْهَا لَا يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ " ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : فَوَهِلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِلْكَ ، فِيمَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَبْقَى الْيَوْمَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ " يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْخَرِمَ ذَلِكَ الْقَرْنُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the ‘Isha prayer during the last days of his life. When he had finished the prayer with salam, he stood up and said: “Remember this night, for after a full hundred years from tonight, none of those who are present on the face of the earth today will remain.” Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that many people became confused by this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to say various things regarding the “hundred years.” In reality, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said: “Those who are present on the face of the earth today,” and what he meant was that this generation would come to an end (he did not mean that the Day of Judgment would occur a hundred years from today).
