حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَبِي، بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ " أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ لَيْلَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مِنْهَا لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ " . قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَوَهَلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تِلْكَ فِيمَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ " . يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَنْخَرِمَ ذَلِكَ الْقَرْنُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ .

‘Abd ibn Ḥumayd informed us; ‘Abd al-Razzāq informed us; Ma‘mar informed us, from al-Zuhrī, from Sālim ibn ‘Abd Allāh and Abū Bakr ibn Sulaymān—who was Ibn Abī Ḥathmah—that ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Umar said: One night, late in the Messenger of Allah’s life, he led us in the ‘Ishā’ prayer. When he gave the salām, he said, “Do you see this night of yours? At the end of one hundred years from tonight, no one who is now on the face of the earth will remain.”
Ibn ‘Umar said: People misunderstood what the Messenger of Allah meant by this statement, in what they have related about one hundred years. The Messenger of Allah only said, “No one who is on the face of the earth today will remain.” He meant that this generation would pass away.
Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The statement concerns the people alive at the time, whose generation would pass away; it does not say that the world itself ends after a hundred years.
