পৃষ্ঠা 280: তৃতীয় অধ্যায়: কিয়ামতের মহা আলামতসমূহ (মাহদী, দাজ্জাল, ঈসা (আ.), ইয়াজুজ-মাজুজ, পশ্চিমাকাশে সূর্যোদয়)

Notice: Concerning the method of reconciling the narrations regarding the duration remaining after the sun rises from the west

The day contains five prayers, so they are estimated by analogy with the days of the Dajjal due to their shared attribute of extreme length, just as they (the scholars) drew an analogy between his latter two days and his first day.

Based on this: whoever slept through his prayer must make up for what he slept through in addition to performing the five prayers, which is clear. The time for the Fajr prayer on the day it rises from its west begins with the break of dawn, and the Zuhr prayer begins when it returns from the middle of the sky, for that is equivalent to the sun's decline (Zawal), while Asr, Maghrib, and Isha are like the rest of the days; and with Allah lies success.

Notice

Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The wicked shall remain after the righteous for one hundred and twenty years." Thus it appears in the original text from which it was transmitted, so it is possible that the governing verb in the accusative was omitted and is to be inferred based on the evidence of the two narrations after it, namely: "they shall remain" (tamkuth) or "they shall abide" (tabqa).

And it was narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "People shall remain after the rising of the sun from its west for one hundred and twenty years."

And Abd ibn Humayd also narrated from him that he said: "The worst of people shall remain after the rising of the sun from its west for one hundred and twenty years."

And Nu'aym narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Hour will not be established until the Arabs worship what their forefathers used to worship for one hundred and twenty years after the descent of Isa ibn Maryam and after the Dajjal."

And Abd ibn Humayd narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The Hour will not be established until two elderly men meet, and one of them says to his companion: 'When were you born?' and he replies: 'At the time the sun rose from its west.'"

And he (Abd ibn Humayd), Ibn Abi Shaybah, and Ibn al-Mundhir narrated from him that he said: "All the signs shall occur within eight months."

And other traditionists besides Ibn Abi Shaybah transmitted from Abu al-Aliyah that he said: "All the signs shall occur within six months." And it was mentioned earlier: "If a man were to breed a foal, he would not ride it until the Trumpet is blown."

The author of "Fath al-Bari" said, and he was followed in this by the author of "al-Qana'ah": "The method of reconciling between the narrations is that the duration..."
