Did the phrase "affair of her religion" (أمر دينها) occur in the Hadith, and with which of the Imams, and who authenticated it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Abu Dawud narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah will raise for this Ummah at the head of every hundred years someone who will revive its religion for it." This hadith has been authenticated by many حافظ (Hafiz, preservers of hadith). The meaning of renewal (tajdid) is to revive what has become obsolete in terms of acting upon the Qur'an and Sunnah, to clarify the Sunnah from innovation, to support the people of knowledge, and to humble the people of innovation.
