وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْأُمَوِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَى، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ «خَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَرْنُ الَّذِينَ بُعِثْتُ فِيهِمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ» زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ، قَالَ: وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَ أَمْ لَا، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ زَهْدَمٍ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ، وَزَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ «وَيَحْلِفُونَ وَلَا يُسْتَحْلَفُونَ»

sahih-muslim-6479

Abdullah b. Umar reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) led us 'Isha' prayer at the latter part of the night and when he had concluded it by salutations he stood up and said: Have you seen this night of yours? At the end of one hundred years after this none would survive on the surface of the earth (from amount my Companions). Ibn Umar said: People were (not understanding) these words of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) which had been uttered pertaining to one hundred years. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) in fact meant (by these words) that on that day none from amongst those who had been living upon the earth (from amongst his Companions) would survive (after one hundred years) and that would be the end of this generation.
