Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَقْتَتِلَ فِئَتَانِ دَعْوَاهُمَا وَاحِدَةٌ ‏"‏‏.‏
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Day of (Judgment) will not be established till there is a war between two groups whose claims (or religion) will be the same."
Narrated by Narrated Abu Huraira:

Context

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) foretold that the Day of Judgment would not come until two groups, who share the same claims or beliefs, engage in conflict. This statement serves as a warning about the potential for division among those who profess similar faiths, emphasizing the need for unity and understanding.

Modern Application

In contemporary society, this hadith reminds us to strive for unity and dialogue among different groups, especially within the same faith. It encourages individuals to seek common ground rather than allowing differences to lead to conflict.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Eschatological Events because it discusses a significant event related to the end times and warns of the consequences of division among believers.
