حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْنُ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " الآيَاتُ بَعْدَ الْمِائَتَيْنِ " .

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 4057
This Hadith about the lesser signs is very brief. Abu Qatadah narrated that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said that the signs would come after two hundred years. The translation explains these as lesser signs. The core topic is End Times. Because the wording is short, the explanation should stay short in meaning too. The Hadith does not list the signs in this report, and it does not explain the details of the two hundred years in the provided text. So the safe lesson is to note that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم spoke about signs appearing in relation to time, while detailed claims should not be added from outside this narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith mentions signs connected to a time after two hundred years.
- The provided text does not list the signs in detail.
- The narration points to lesser signs according to the translation.
- The wording teaches caution about adding details not stated in the report.
