[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the night prayer in the last days of his life, and when he finished, he stood up and said, "Did you see this night of yours? Verily, after one hundred years, none of those who are on the face of the earth will remain."

Once the Prophet ﷺ led us in the ʿIsha' prayer during the last days of his life and after finishing it (the prayer) (with Taslim) he said: "Do you realize (the importance of) this night?" Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will be living after the completion of one hundred years from this night."

"One night Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the ʿIsha' prayer and that is the one called Al-ʿAtma [??] by the people. After the completion of the prayer, he faced us and said, "Do you know the importance of this night? Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight will be living after one hundred years from this night." (See Hadith No. 575).  

البخاري:٥٦٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ سَالِمٌ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ

The Prophet ﷺ prayed one of the ʿIsha' prayer in his last days and after finishing it with Taslim, he stood up and said, "Do you realize (the importance of) this night? Nobody present on the surface of the earth tonight would be living after the completion of one hundred years from this night." The people made a mistake in grasping the meaning of this statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they indulged in those things which are said about these narrators (i.e. some said that the Day of Resurrection will be established after 100 years etc.) But the Prophet ﷺ said, "Nobody present on the surface of earth tonight would be living after the completion of 100 years from this night"; he meant "When that century (people of that century) would pass away."

Have you seen this night of yours? At the end of one hundred years after this none would survive on the surface of the earth (from amount my Companions). Ibn Umar said: People were (not understanding) these words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which had been uttered pertaining to one hundred years. Messenger of Allah ﷺ in fact meant (by these words) that on that day none from amongst those who had been living upon the earth (from amongst his Companions) would survive (after one hundred years) and that would be the end of this generation.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the night prayer one night towards the end of his life. When he uttered the salutation, he got up and said : Have you seen this night of yours ? No one of those who are on the surface of the earth will survive at the ends of one hundred years. Ibn ‘Umar said: The people fell into fallacy by this statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the traditions they used to narrate concerning one hundred years. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: No one of those who are present today on the surface of the earth will survive, meaning when that century comes to and end.
