حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَبُو بَکْرٍ ابْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ صَلَّی النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَائِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَکُمْ لَيْلَتَکُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّ رَأْسَ مِائَةٍ لَا يَبْقَی مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَی ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ فَوَهِلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی مَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَبْقَی مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَی ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِکَ أَنَّهَا تَخْرِمُ ذَلِکَ الْقَرْنَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 601
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The Prophet prayed one of the `Isha' prayer in his last days and after finishing it with Taslim, he stood up and said, "Do you realize (the importance of) this night? Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight would be living after the completion of one hundred years from this night." The people made a mistake in grasping the meaning of this statement of Allah's Apostle and they indulged in those things which are said about these narrators (i.e. some said that the Day of Resurrection will be established after 100 years etc.) But the Prophet said, "Nobody present on the surface of earth tonight would be living after the completion of 100 years from this night"; he meant "When that century (people of that century) would pass away."
