Sahih Al Bukhari 601

Imam Bukhari narrates: Abu al-Yaman narrated to us, he said: Shu'aib informed us from al-Zuhri, he said: Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar and Abu Bakr bin Abi Hathmah narrated to me that Abdullah bin Umar, may Allāh be pleased with them both, said that

the Prophet ﷺ prayed the Isha prayer at the end of his life, when he turned the salam, he stood up and said: Tell me, which night of yours is this? Because after a hundred years, none of those who are (alive) today will remain upon the face of the earth.

Ibn Umar said: The people made a mistake in understanding this statement of the Prophet ﷺ, until they began to say various things in interpreting the hundred years. And the Prophet ﷺ had only said that the people who are alive on the earth now, after a hundred years none of them will remain alive, his intention was that after a hundred years this generation (century) will remain upon the face of the earth.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ لَيْلَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّ رَأْسَ مِائَةٍ لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَوَهِلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ إِلَى مَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ، وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ ‏"‏ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنَّهَا تَخْرِمُ ذَلِكَ الْقَرْنَ‏.‏
