Abu Mas’ood ‘Uqbah bin ʿAmr al-Ansari entered upon ʿAli bin Abi Talib ؓ and ʿAli said to him: Are you the one who says that in one hundred years time there will be on earth no eye that blinks? Rather the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “In one hundred years time there will be no eye that blinks left on earth of those who are alive todayʿ By Allah there is a great hope for this ummah after one hundred years.
