Assalmu Alaikum brother
i have a question about the authenticity of few hadiths regarding the life span of mulim ummah what i have read is here
'The Prophet SAWS said “The life span of my Ummah will not extend past 1500 years.”

(Suyuti, Al-Kashf ‘an Mujawazat Hadhihi al-Ummah al-Alf, ‘Al-Hawi lil-Fatawi’, Suyuti. 2/248, (Arabic) 4/262, Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Kitab al-`Ilal, P. 89).

ARGcomment: I don't have the means to check this, however if it is authentic there are various ways it might be interpreted.

Imam As-Suyuti (d.911 AH) said:

“From what the narrations reveal is that the age of this ummah extends beyond a thousand but it doesnt exceed in increase another 500 in actuality beyond this thousand.”

(in his book in his “Risalah Al-Kashf ‘an mujawazt hadehel ommah al alf”, or “treastie on revealing of the proceeding of this nation beyond the thousand, ” page 206)

The Prophet (sallalahu alayhi wassalam) said: “The life of this Ummah will exceed 1000, yet will be limited by 1500 years.”

(Shaikh Muhammad ibn `Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji (d.1103 AH), Al-Isha`ah li Ashrat as-Sa`ah, p. 299)

Hafiz Ibn al-Hajr al-Asqalani (d.852 AH) said:

“And it is evident that the lasting of this Islamic nation is somewhat a thousand years, this is because the age of the Jewish nation is equivalent to that of the time periods of the Christian and Muslim ages combined, and the people of transmission (ahl an naql) have agreed that the period of the Jews till the advent of Allah (SWT)’s final Apostle Muhammad SAWS was more than 2000 years, and the span of the age of the Christians was 600 years from them..and also this narration points the fact about how little of the age of this world has remained.”

i am wondering that what is your response to this and it seems true because just few days ago another 30000 troops are going to afghanistan and it seems that the west is setting up for the al-malahim-ul-uzma the great battle during which imam mahadi will apear. pls guide us with your knowledge.
may allah bless you day and night.

ARGcoment: It seems that this hadith is weak, so we cannot rely upon it.
