English translation
4282. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh that the Prophet ﷺ said: "If there was only one day left of this world" – Zā'idah (one of the narrators) said in his Hadīth: "Allāh would lengthen that day" – "until He sent a man who is of me, or of my family, whose name is the same as my name, and whose father's name is the same as my father's name." In the Hadīth of Fīṭr (one of the narrators) he added: "He will fill the world with fairness and justice as it was filled with wrongdoing and injustice." In the Hadīth of Sufyān it says: "This world will not cease, or will not end, until the Arabs are ruled by a man from my family, whose name is the same as mine." Abū Dāwūd said: The wording of 'Umar and Abū Bakr[1] is the same as that of Sufyān. [But Abū Bakr did not say: "The 'Arabs." Abū Dāwūd spoke of the Hadīth of Abū Bakr and 'Umar bin 'Ubaid.] (Hasan)
