Sunan Abi Dawud 4254

Translation

The Prophet ﷺ said: The mill of Islam will go round till the year thirty-five, or thirty-six, or thirty-seven; then if they perish, they will have followed the path of those who perished before them, but if their religion is maintained, it will be maintained for seventy years. I asked: Does it mean seventy years which remain or seventy years which are gone by? He replied: It means (seventy years) that are gone by. Abu Dawud said: Those who recorded Khirash, the name of a narrator, are wrong. (The correct name is Hirash)

Abī Isrāʾīl narrated it from Ibn ʿUyaynah from Manṣūr from Sālim b. Abī al-Jaʿd from al-Barāʾ b. Nājiyah from Ibn Masʿūd, and he erred in it; it is only Ribʿī in place of Sālim.

Mahdī Abū Saʿīd, the one of the pearl, narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us from Manṣūr from Ribʿī from al-Barāʾ b. Nājiyah from ʿAbdullāh, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "The mill of Islam will turn for thirty-five, or thirty-six, or thirty-seven. If they perish, then it is the path of those who have perished; and if their religion remains established for them, it will remain established for them for seventy years." He said: I said: "Of what has passed or of what remains?" He said: "Rather, of what remains." Report a problem
