How can the Hadith "The Hour will not be established except upon the worst of people" be reconciled with the Hadith "Goodness will remain in my Ummah until the establishment of the Hour"?
The second in the question, "Goodness is in me and in my nation until the Day of Judgment," is not authentic and is fabricated, as stated by Hadith scholars like Al-Shawkani and Al-Qari. Ibn Hajar said about it, "I do not know it," and Al-Albani said, "It has no basis."
However, its meaning is authentic, as evidenced by the Hadith, "There will always be a group from my nation manifest upon the truth until the Hour is established."
There is no contradiction between this meaning and the Hour being established upon the worst of creation, for goodness remains in the Ummah until the wind that takes the souls of the believers before the Hour is established upon the wicked.
