Sunan Abi Dawud 4348 (Book 39, Hadith 58) #24639
The End of a Century

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warning his companions that no one present on earth will survive to see the end of a century.

'Abd Allah b. 'Umar said : The Messenger of Allah led us in the night prayer one night towards the end of his life. When he uttered the salutation, he got up and said : Have you seen this night of yours ? No one of those who are on the surface of the earth will survive at the ends of one hundred years. Ibn 'Umar said: The people fell into fallacy by this statement of the Messenger of Allah about the traditions they used to narrate concerning one hundred years. The Messenger of Allah said: No one of those who are present today on the surface of the earth will survive, meaning when that century comes to and end.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ صَلاَةَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي آخِرِ حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَيْلَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّ عَلَى رَأْسِ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ مِنْهَا لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَوَهَلَ النَّاسُ فِي مَقَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تِلْكَ فِيمَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الأَحَادِيثِ عَنْ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لاَ يَبْقَى مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْخَرِمَ ذَلِكَ الْقَرْنُ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was leading his companions in prayer one night and when he finished he said “Have you seen this night of yours? No one of those who are on the surface of the earth will survive at the ends of one hundred years”. He was warning them that no matter how long they live or how much time passes by, none of them would be alive to witness a century ending. This hadith teaches us that life is short and we should make use of our time wisely as we do not know when our lives will come to an end. It also reminds us to be mindful and grateful for every moment we have in life as it could be our last day here on Earth.
