السَّمَرِ فِي الْفِقْهِ وَالْخَيْرِ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ

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.

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

Translation

Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet ﷺ prayed the Isha prayer towards the end of his life. When he had said the salam, the Prophet ﷺ stood up and said, “Do you see this night of yours? At the end of a hundred (years) from it, none of those who are today on the face of the earth will remain.” The people were mistaken about the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, taking it to refer to what they relate in these narrations about a hundred years. But the Prophet ﷺ only said, “None of those who are today on the face of the earth will remain,” meaning by that that that generation would pass away.

Translator’s note: What is meant is the end of the generation then living, not the end of the world.

Ibn Umar berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ verrichtete gegen Ende seines Lebens das Nachtgebet. Als er den Friedensgruß gesprochen hatte, stand der Prophet ﷺ auf und sagte: „Seht ihr diese eure Nacht? Am Ende von hundert (Jahren) von ihr an wird von denen, die heute auf der Erdoberfläche sind, keiner mehr übrig sein.“ Die Leute irrten sich im Wort des Gesandten Allahs ﷺ, indem sie es auf das bezogen, was sie in diesen Erzählungen über hundert Jahre berichten. Der Prophet ﷺ sagte jedoch nur: „Von denen, die heute auf der Erdoberfläche sind, wird keiner übrig bleiben“, und meinte damit, dass jene Generation dahingehen würde.

Translator’s note: Gemeint ist das Ende der damals lebenden Generation, nicht das Ende der Welt.

Türkçe

İbn Ömer (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ hayatının sonlarında yatsı namazını kıldı. Selam verince Nebî ﷺ ayağa kalkıp şöyle buyurdu: “Bu gecenizi gördünüz mü? Bu geceden itibaren yüz (yılın) sonunda, bugün yeryüzünde bulunanlardan hiç kimse kalmayacaktır.” İnsanlar, Resûlullah'ın ﷺ bu sözünü yüz yıl hakkında anlattıkları bu rivayetlere yorarak yanıldılar. Hâlbuki Nebî ﷺ sadece: “Bugün yeryüzünde bulunanlardan hiç kimse kalmayacaktır” buyurmuş, bununla o neslin göçüp gideceğini kastetmişti.

Translator’s note: Kastedilen, o gün yaşayan neslin sona ermesidir, dünyanın sonu değildir.
