How to reconcile the hadith: (A group from my Ummah will remain manifest upon the truth) with the hadith: (The Hour will not come until it is not said: Allah, Allah)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : How do we reconcile the hadith: Sahih Muslim 1920, and the hadith: Sahih Muslim 148a?
The Shaykh : I did not understand the contradiction?
Eid Abbasi : I mean, he thinks that: A group from my Ummah will remain manifest upon the truth, that they will continue until the Hour comes.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is so.
Eid Abbasi : And the hadith says:Sahih Muslim 148a.
Those present : .
Eid Abbasi, yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : Yes, I mean.
The questioner : No group of believers remains, that is what he thinks.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is so, but what is his conception of the matter? Perhaps if we explain how the Hour comes from a specific angle, the unclear issue in the question will be resolved.
The matter is very natural, and there is no difference between this hadith and that one. He said - (peace and blessings be upon him) - : , and the wording of Ahmad explains this general wording, ; so when the Hour comes, there are no monotheists who declare the oneness of Allah - (Mighty and Majestic) - . Who are these monotheists? They are those mentioned in the first hadith; Sahih Muslim 1920 these are, of course, monotheists, and not only monotheists; and more than that; as long as these people are on the face of the earth, the Hour will not come. So if Allah - (Mighty and Majestic) - wills to establish the Hour, He sends a gentle wind... .
