Musnad Ahmad 3758

Translation

✧ The millstone of Islam will turn after thirty-five or thirty-six or thirty-seven (years). If it perishes, then it is like the way of what perished; and if their religion stands firm for them, it will stand firm for seventy years.” He said: ‘Umar said, “O Messenger of Allah, is that according to what has passed or what remains?” He said, “Rather, according to what remains.”

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
