For The Entire World To Come To An End
Question :
Is this Hadith authentic:
"For the entire world to come to an end is a lighter matter to Allah than for a Muslim man to be murdered."
Answer:
It was recorded by Muslim, An-Nisa'i, and At-Tirmithi on the authority of 'Amr bin Al-'As, may Allah be pleased with him. The Prophet ﷺ said :
"For the world to come to an end is a lighter matter to Allah than for a Muslim man to be murdered".
However, in the narrations we came across, the word "entire" was not a part of the Hadith. Ibn Majah recorded it on the authority of Al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said :
"For the world to come to an end is a lighter matter to Allah than for a believer to be wrongfully killed."
