[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, does Islam have an end?" He (the Prophet) said, "No, as long as there are people (meaning the people of the House of the Prophet)."
And in another place, he said, "Yes, whenever Allah intends good for the people of any Arab or non-Arab household, He guides them to Islam." The man asked, "What happens after that?" He (the Prophet) said, "Then there will be trials and tribulations like patches of darkness." The man asked, "Will there be a way out from them?" He (the Prophet) said, "Yes, by Allah, if Allah wills." The man asked, "Do they return to the same situation of discord?" He (the Prophet) said, "Yes, and I swear by the one who has my life in His hand, they will become even more divided amongst themselves."
