Question:
Assalamoualaykoum Wa Rahamatul Lahi Wa Barakatuhu
I have been told over and over that there is a hadith that says that the Naqshbandi Tariqa will be the last one among all tariqas. Is this true and if so where can we find this hadith.
Answer:
`Alaykum as-Salam wa rahmatullah,
There is no such hadith. Even if there were one, it would be an anachronism (invalid time sequence) as the name “Naqshbandi” came into existence around the ninth century after the Hijra, and the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) did not pinpoint future people, groups, or events by their specific names in his hadiths except in one or two rare cases.
