Is the total lifespan of this Ummah 1500 years?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by HadithAnswers.com

What is the reliability of this Hadith? The life of my community will not extend over more than 1500 years.

Answer

I haven’t seen this Hadith in the popular Hadith books, neither has ‘Allamah Suyuti (rahimahullah) mentioned any such narration in his article on this subject.

(Al-Hawi, vol.2 pg.248-256)

However some Scholars have made this claim based on a combination of narrations.

Several other reliable ‘Ulama have refuted this, as Allah Ta’ala has kept the knowledge of Qiyamah and the end of the world a secret.

(Refer: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 6503-6505. Also see Al-Maqasidul Hasanah, Hadith: 1243)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
