How do we reconcile the hadith “A group from my Ummah will remain manifest…” with the hadith “The Hour will not come upon anyone who says: Allah, Allah”?

Question:
May Allah reward you. In his other question, he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, meaning that
Islam began as something strange and it will return to being strange as it beganالاسلام بدا غريبا وسيعود غريبا كما بدا
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2629Sahih (Darussalam)
And there are hadiths that the Hour will not come until Allah the Exalted is not mentioned on earth. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said:
A group from my Ummah will remain manifest upon the truth.لا يزال طائفه من امتي ظاهرين على الحق
Sunan al-Bayhaqi 16:1390
to the end of the hadith. So how do we reconcile these texts? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
There is no contradiction between the hadiths, because this religion will continue until what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned, until the command of Allah comes, until the command of Allah comes. And the command of Allah is interpreted as the sun rising from the west. If the sun rises from the west, then repentance will not be accepted from one who repents, and Islam will not be accepted from one who embraces Islam after that. As for the statement that the Hour will not come while there is someone on earth saying “Allah, Allah,” this is at the end of time.
For Allah will take the souls of the believers before that; He will take the souls of the believers before that, and no one will remain on earth except the disbelievers. Then the Hour will come upon them, because as long as tawhid (the oneness of Allah) remains on earth, the Hour will not come. The Hour only comes when tawhid is lost from all the people of the earth. Thus, the Hour comes. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Indeed,
Among the worst of people are those whom the Hour overtakes while they are alive,من شرار الناس أن تدركهم الساعة وهم أحياء،
and those who build mosques over graves; these are the worst of people, and I seek refuge in Allah.” Yes.
