Allah drew the ends of the world near one another for my sake. And I have seen its eastern and western ends. And the dominion of my Ummah would reach those ends which have been drawn near me and I have been granted the red and the white treasure and I begged my Lord for my Ummah that it should not be destroyed because of famine, nor be dominated by an enemy who is not amongst them to take their lives and destroy them root and branch, and my Lord said: Muhammad, whenever I make a decision, there is none to change it. I grant you for your Ummah that it would not be destroyed by famine and it would not be dominated by an enemy who would not be amongst it and would take their lives and destroy them root and branch even if all the people from the different parts of the world join hands together (for this purpose), but it would be from amongst them, viz. your Ummah, that some people would kill the others or imprison the others.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُهَا مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا وَأُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الأَحْمَرَ وَالأَبْيَضَ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لأُمَّتِي أَنْ لاَ يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ وَأَنْ لاَ يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَإِنَّ رَبِّي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُرَدُّ وَإِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُكَ لأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لاَ أُهْلِكَهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ وَأَنْ لاَ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ يَسْتَبِيحُ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ بِأَقْطَارِهَا أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ بَيْنَ أَقْطَارِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَيَسْبِي بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Allah, the Exalted, folded for me the earth, or he said (the narrator is doubtful): My Lord folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its easts and wests (i.e. the extremities). The kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was folded for me. The two treasures, the red and the white, were bestowed on me.

I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates then en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me: Muhammad, If I make a decision, it is not withdrawn ; and I shall not destroy them by prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy, except from among themselves, who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth ; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will captive another section.

I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is (Allah's) prophet, where as I am the seal of the Prophet s after whom (me) there will be no prophet ; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth۔"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ أَوْ قَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ مُلْكَ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا وَأُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الأَحْمَرَ وَالأَبْيَضَ

وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لأُمَّتِي أَنْ (١) لاَ يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ، (٢) وَلاَ يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ۔ وَإِنَّ رَبِّي قَالَ لِي: يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُرَدُّ: (١) وَلاَ أُهْلِكُهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ، (٢) وَلاَ أُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ بَيْنَ أَقْطَارِهَا أَوْ قَالَ بِأَقْطَارِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَحَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا۔

وَإِنَّمَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحَتَّى تَعْبُدَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الأَوْثَانَ وَإِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي كَذَّابُونَ ثَلاَثُونَ كُلُّهُمْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ وَأَنَا خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَلاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ  

"Indeed Allah gathered the earth for me so that I saw its east and its west. And surely my Ummah's authority shall reach over all that was shown to me of it. And I have been granted the two treasures; the red and the white. I asked my Lord that my Ummah is not to be destroyed by a universal drought, and that He does not overcome them by enemies outside of them, reaching to their heart of power. My Lord said: 'O Muhammad! When I issue a decree it is not reversed. I have granted for your Ummah that they shall not be destroyed by universal drought. And that they not be overcome by enemies outside of themselves reaching to their heart of power- even if they gather against them from all the regions."' Or he said: "Among the regions. But some of them will destroy others, and some will capture others."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَى لِيَ الأَرْضَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُهَا مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا وَأُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الأَحْمَرَ وَالأَصْفَرَ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لأُمَّتِي أَنْ لاَ يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ عَامَّةٍ وَأَنَّ لاَ يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَإِنَّ رَبِّي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي إِذَا قَضَيْتُ قَضَاءً فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُرَدُّ وَإِنِّي أَعْطَيْتُكَ لأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لاَ أُهْلِكَهُمْ بِسَنَةٍ عَامَّةٍ وَأَنْ لاَ أُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ بِأَقْطَارِهَا أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ بَيْنَ أَقْطَارِهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَيَسْبِي بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا  

"When the sword is imposed on my Ummah, it shall not be removed from it until the Day of Resurrection."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ  

“The earth was brought together for me so that I could see the east and the west, and I was given two treasures, the yellow (or the red) and the white – meaning gold and silver. And it was said to me: ‘Your dominion will extend as far as has been shown to you.’ I asked Allah for three things: That my nation would not be overwhelmed by famine that would destroy them all, and that they would not be rent by schism and fight one another, but it was said to me: ‘When I (Allah) issue My decree it cannot be revoked. But I will never cause your nation to be overwhelmed by famine that would destroy them all, and I will not gather their enemies against them (and destroy them) until they annihilate one another and kill one another.’ Once they start to fight amongst themselves, that will continue until the Day of Resurrection. What I fear most for my nation is misguiding leaders. Some tribes among my nation will worship idols and some tribes among my nation will join the idolaters. Before the Hour comes there will be nearly thirty Dajjals (great liars), each of them claiming to be a Prophet. But a group among my nation will continue to adhere to the truth and be victorious, and those who oppose them will not harm them, until the command of Allah comes to pass.’”

[Machine] Indeed, the Prophet ﷺ said: "Verily, Allah has shown me the entire earth, so I saw its east and west. And indeed, the dominion of my nation will reach that which was shown to me of it. And indeed, I have been given the two treasures, the white and the red. And I asked my Lord that my nation not be destroyed by a consecutive year of famine, and that they not be made to face an enemy who is not from them, who will destroy them en masse. And that they not be made to wear clothing of degradation, and that they not taste the punishment from one another." He ﷺ said: "O Muhammad, when I decree a matter, it cannot be reversed. And indeed, I have given you a guarantee for your nation that I will not destroy them with a consecutive year of famine, and I will not subject them to an enemy who is not from them, who will destroy them en masse. So that some of them are destroyed by others, and some of them are killed by others, and some of them are taken captive by others." He ﷺ said: "And indeed, I do not fear for my nation except for the misguided imams. When the sword is wielded among my nation, it is not lifted from them until the Day of Resurrection."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Indeed, Allah, or verily, my Lord, extended the earth for me, so that its east and west became visible to me. And indeed, my nation will reach the extent of its dominion wherever was made visible to me of it. And I have been given the Red and White treasures. And indeed, I have asked my Lord for my nation, that they would not be destroyed in one year, en masse, nor be subjugated by an enemy other than themselves, who would make their offspring slaves and some of them would capture others, and some would destroy others. Even if all the people from end to end, or from one end to another, gathered together against them. Do you not fear that false leaders will arise among my nation? And when the sword is placed in my nation, it will not be lifted from them until the Day of Judgment. And the Hour will not be established until some tribes from my nation join the polytheists, and until some tribes from my nation worship idols."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ أَوْ إِنَّ رَبِّي زَوَى لِي الْأَرْضَ مَشَارِقَهَا وَمَغَارِبَهَا وَإِنَّ أُمَّتِي سَيَبْلُغُ مُلْكُهَا مَا زُوِيَ لِي مِنْهَا وَأُعْطِيتُ الْكَنْزَيْنِ الْأَحْمَرَ وَالْأَبْيَضَ وَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي لِأُمَّتِي أَنْ لَا يُهْلِكَهَا بِسَنَةٍ بِعَامَّةٍ وَلَا يُسَلِّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ سِوَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَيَسْتَبِيحَ بَيْضَتَهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَسْبِي بَعْضًا وَبَعْضُهُمْ يُهْلِكُ بَعْضًا وَلَوْ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ بَيْنَ أَقْطَارِهَا أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ بِأَقْطَارِهَا أَلَا وَإِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَلْحَقَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحَتَّى تَعْبُدَ قَبَائِلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْأَوْثَانَ  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Verily, My Lord expanded the earth for me until I saw its easts and wests, and He gave me the red and white treasures, and indeed my nation will reach its dominion which is expanded for me from it. I asked my Lord for my nation, not to destroy them with a general year of disaster, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to subject them to an enemy from outside of them, so He gave it to me. And I asked Him not to make some of them taste the punishment of others, so He prevented me from it. And He said, 'O Muhammad, if I decree a matter, it is not reversed. Indeed, I have given you for your nation that they will not be destroyed by a general year of disaster, and I will not manifest upon them an enemy other than themselves to make them permissible to each other. Even if people from all corners of the earth gathered until some of them destroy others and capture others, I do not fear for my nation except for the misleading leaders. The Hour will not be established until tribes from my nation join the polytheists and until tribes from my nation worship idols. And when the sword is unsheathed among my nation, it will never be removed from them until the Day of Resurrection.' And he claimed, 'Nothing will be taken from a man from the people of Paradise from its fruits except that Allah will replace it with something similar.' And he said, 'There is no dinar that a man spends, seeking a greater reward, than a dinar he spends on his family, then a dinar he spends on his horse in the way of Allah, then a dinar he spends on his companions in the way of Allah.' And he claimed that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ exalted this matter and when it is the Day of Resurrection, the people of ignorance will come carrying their idols on their backs, and their Lord will ask them, 'What were you worshiping?' They will say, 'Our Lord, you did not send us a messenger, nor did a command come to us. If you had sent a messenger to us, we would have obeyed you.' So their Lord will say to them, 'Did you not promise me to obey if I commanded you?' They will say, 'Yes.' So He will take their covenants concerning that and then He will order them to plunge into Hellfire and they will enter it. They will set out until when they approach it, they will see it boiling and roaring in anger, so they will become afraid and turn back to their Lord and say, 'Our Lord, turn us back from it.' So He will say, 'Did you not give me your covenants to obey me? Plunge into it.' So they will set out until when they see it, they will turn back again and say, 'Our Lord, we cannot enter it.' He will say, 'Enter it with humiliation.' So the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'If they had entered it the first time, it would have been cool and peaceful for them.'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Allah, the Exalted, folded for me the earth, or he said (the narrator is doubtful): My Lord folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its easts and wests (i.e. the extremities). The kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was floded for me. The two treasures, the red and the white, were bestowed on me. I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates then en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me: Muhammad, If I make a decision, it is not withdrawn ; and I shall not destroy them by prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy, except from among themselves, who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth ; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will captive another section. I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is (Allah's) prophet, where as I am the seal of the Prophet s after whom (me) there will be no prophet ; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth - (according to the Ibn Isa's version: (will continue to dominate) - the agreed version goes: "and will not be injured by those who oppose them, till Allah's command comes."

[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'Verily, I do not fear for my nation except for the misguided leaders. And when the sword is brandished among my people, it will not be lifted from them until the Day of Resurrection.'"  

نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَا أَخَافُ عَلَى أُمَّتِي إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَإِذَا وُضِعَ السَّيْفُ فِي أُمَّتِي لَمْ يُرْفَعْ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has shown me the entire earth until I saw its eastern and western boundaries, and He has given me the red and white treasures. Verily, the dominion of my Ummah will reach what has been shown to me from it. And I asked my Lord that He does not destroy them with a general destruction, and that He does not give their enemies from other than them the power to dominate them, so they are destroyed. And that He does not clothe them in division, causing one group to taste the suffering of another. So He said, 'O Muhammad, if I give a gift, there is no returning it. I have given to you for your Ummah that they shall not be destroyed with a general destruction, and I shall not give their enemies from other than them the power to dominate them and make them permissible. Even if all those from the ends of the earth gathered over them, such that some of them are destroyed, some captive, and some are agitated. And indeed, there will be some tribes from my Ummah that will return to idol worship and the worship of false deities. And indeed, the leaders of misguided will be from the most feared of things I fear for my Ummah. And if the sword is placed among them, it will not be raised until the Day of Resurrection. And indeed, there will emerge liars and imposters among my Ummah, close to the number of thirty. And indeed, I am the final seal of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me. And there will always be a group from my Ummah who will be steadfast upon the truth, victorious, until the command of Allah comes."
