## Longer summary

A super chat asks whether the hadith saying that at the end of times no one will be left who believes in Allah is sahih. Mufti Abu Layth says most hadith about the end of times, the apocalyptic reports, are usually made up, citing Imam Ahmad's statement that certain genres have no basis in the Sunnah, among them the signs of the Hour and the tribulations. He then thanks several super chats, including one for his memories of studying.
