Sahih Muslim #6322

The Book of the Merits of the Companions
Sahih

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

حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِشَهْرٍ ‏ "‏ تَسْأَلُونِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ وَإِنَّمَا عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَأُقْسِمُ بِاللَّهِ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مِنْ نَفْسٍ مَنْفُوسَةٍ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying this one month before his death: You asked me about the Last Hour whereas its knowledge is with Allah. I, however, take an oath and say that none upon the earth, the created beings (from amongst my Companions), would survive at the end of one hundred years.
Narrated by Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported:

Context

This hadith, reported by Jabir b. 'Abdullah, captures a moment shortly before the Prophet's (ﷺ) passing, where he addresses questions about the Last Hour. He emphasizes that knowledge of the Hour is solely with Allah and warns that no one from among his companions would survive a hundred years. This serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life.

Modern Application

In today's fast-paced world, the reminder of life's impermanence encourages individuals to focus on meaningful actions and relationships. Understanding that time is limited can motivate people to prioritize their spiritual and personal growth, fostering a sense of urgency in living a purposeful life.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Resurrection because it discusses the knowledge of the Last Hour and the inevitability of death.
