bayhaqi:2049Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū ʿUmar And ʿUthmān b. Aḥmad al-Daqqāq> ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm al-Wāsiṭī > Ibrāhīm b. Zakariyyā from Ahl ʿAbdas > Ibrāhīm b. Abū Maḥdhūrah Muʾadhhin Makkah from my father > Jaddī / Abū Maḥdhūrah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The beginning of the time is the pleasure of Allah, the middle of the time is the mercy of Allah, and the end of the time is the forgiveness of Allah." Ibrahim ibn Zakariyya, also known as Abu Ishaq Al-Dharyr, narrated this hadeeth from the trustworthy narrators in Al-Bawaatil. Abu Saad Al-Malini narrated it from Abu Ahmad ibn Adiy Al-Hafith, and Ibrahim ibn Abi Mahdhurah, who is Ibrahim ibn Abdul Aziz ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Abi Mahdhurah, also narrated it. This hadeeth is famous and has been narrated with the same wording by Ibn Abbas, Jarir ibn Abdullah, and Anas ibn Malik. It is a raised hadeeth and has a basis in the statement of Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir.
