ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ قَوْلَهُ ﷺ «وَعَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ مَنْفُوسَةٌ» أَرَادَ بِهِ مَنْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ said, "You ask me about the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment), and by the one in whose hand is my soul, there is not living being on the face of the Earth today who will remain but for a hundred years."  

ابن حبّان:٢٩٩١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَسْأَلُونَنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ مَنْفُوسَةٌ الْيَوْمَ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ»

لَمَا رَجَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ تَبُوكَ سَأَلُوهُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَأْتِي مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَعَلَى الأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ مَنْفُوسَةٌ الْيَوْمَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about the Hour before he died on a month, so he said, "You ask me about the Hour while its knowledge is only with Allah. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I do not know today any person whose life span is a hundred years."  

أحمد:١٤٤٩٣ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِشَهْرٍ فَقَالَ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ وَإِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ الْيَوْمَ نَفْسًا مَنْفُوسَةً يَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ
