It is narrated from Sayyiduna Kurz bin Alqamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! Does Islam have an end?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes. Any household of the Arabs or non-Arabs for whom Allah intends good, He brings Islam into it. Then (after that) trials will occur like the shadows of clouds." This hadith is sahih (authentic) and there is no hidden defect ('illah) in it. The two Shaykhs did not take it only because Urwah is the sole narrator from Kurz bin Alqamah, although Kurz is a Companion and his hadith is found in the Musnads of the imams. I heard Ali bin Umar al-Hafiz (Imam al-Daraqutni) say that this hadith was binding upon Bukhari and Muslim (to record), because both of them agreed on the hadith of Itban bin Malik, who has no narrator other than Mahmud bin al-Rabi'.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadalah bin Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Glad tidings (Tuba) are for the one who was granted guidance to Islam, whose livelihood was just sufficient for his needs, and who was content with it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, and it has reached me that he recorded it through another chain.
