I was with ʿAli ؓ , and Abu Masʿood entered upon him and he said to him. O Farrookh, are you the one who says that in one hundred years time there will be on earth no eye that blinks? You are mistaken. Rather the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said. ʿIn one hundred years time, there will be no eye that blinks left on earth of those who are alive today.ʿ By Allah, the time of prosperity and ease for this ummah will be after one hundred years.
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا فَرُّوخُ أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الْأَرْضِ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ أَخْطَتِ اسْتُكَ الْحُفْرَةَ؟ إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الْأَرْضِ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ مِمَّنْ هُوَ الْيَوْمَ حَيٌّ وَإِنَّمَا رَخَاءُ هَذِهِ وَفَرَجُهَا بَعْدَ الْمِائَةِ
