The Prophet ﷺ said: I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day. Sa'd was asked: How long is half a day? He said: It is five hundred years.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي لأَرْجُو أَنْ لاَ تُعْجِزَ أُمَّتِي عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهُمْ نِصْفَ يَوْمٍ قِيلَ لِسَعْدٍ وَكَمْ نِصْفُ يَوْمٍ قَالَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ
[AI] "It will not be beyond my Lord to delay my Ummah by half a day." And I asked Rashid, "Has it reached you what half a day is?" He said, "Five hundred years."
«لَا تَعْجِزُ أُمَّتِي عِنْدَ رَبِّي أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهَا نِصْفَ يَوْمٍ». وَسَأَلْتُ رَاشِدًا: هَلْ بَلَغَكَ مَاذَا النِّصْفُ يَوْمٍ؟ قَالَ: خَمْسُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ.
The Prophet ﷺ said: I hope my community will not fail to maintain their position in the sight of their Lord if He delays them half a day. Sa'd was asked: How long is half a day? He said: It is five hundred years. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4350)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنِّي لأرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَعْجِزَ أُمَّتِي عِنْدَ رَبِّي أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهُمْ نِصْفَ يَوْمٍ فَقِيلَ لِسَعْدٍ وَكَمْ نِصْفُ يَوْمٍ؟ قَالَ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ سَنَةٍ
("إِنِّى لأَرْجُو أَلا يُعجزَ اللَّه أُمَّتِى أَن يُؤخِّرَهُمْ نصفَ يومٍ، قِيلَ لسعدٍ: وكم نصفُ يومٍ؟ قال: خَمْسُمائةِ سنةِ" .
"إنِّى لأَرْجُو ألَّا تَعْجِزَ أُمَّتى عنْدَ ربِّها أَن يؤَخِّرَهُمُ نِصْفَ يَوْم".
"عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِى وَقَاصٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنِّى أَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَعْجِزَ أُمَّتِى عدَ ربِّهَا - ﷻ - أَنْ يُؤَخَّرَهُمْ نِصْفَ يَوْمٍ قِيلَ لِسَعْدٍ: وَكَمْ نِصْف يَوْمٍ؟ قَال: خَمْسُمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ".
