The F?!!!!
Where is that prophecy?
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf (1500 years, i.e. around 70 years left)
Sh. Hamza Yusuf discusses on this hadith at the 2 hour and 6 minutes mark (2:07:00) in this video (a great video by the way):

Question: Imam Mahdi will appear during Ramadan where a sun and moon eclipse will occur in the same month. Its research indicates this is in the year 2004?
Answer: There are some hadiths that indicate
that, nobody can say for sure. You cant give any dates. Anybody gives you any dates we just cant take them. Imam as-Suyuti said the ajal of the ummah would end sometime in the 15th century. He based it on a hadith that indicates this ummah lasts half of the life of the Jewish ummah and they lasted 2,000 years and so the ummah would only last 1,000 years. Which is why we had our own millennial fever 400 years ago, because people really thought it was coming to an end. And Imam as-Suyuti was born in the 10th century and lived into the 11th century so he obviously passed the thousand year mark and wrote a fatwa called Kishf an ummata- insight into the fact the ummah will last more than 1,000 years because he actually said, Look were all alive, and its been over a thousand years. But he said it was only 1,000 years but there was a dua of the Prophet (salallahu alayhi wasalam) in which he said, Oh Allah, give my ummah an extra half-day. And somebody asked him how long will that be? And he said, 500 years because a day with Allah is a thousand years. And so he said it wouldnt go past 1,500 years, which means we have about 70 years left. And Allah knows best. Thats not the saa, because the ummah is finished and the saa comes on the worst people

So from this saying of Ibn Hajr it is derived :
1) The time period of the Jews is equivalent to the age of the Christians and Muslims combined, so in other words
Age of the Jews = Age of the Christians + Age of the Muslims
2) The time span of the Christian age was 600 years and this has been stated in an authentic report from Bukhari who transmitted from Salman Farsi radiallaho 3anh that : The length of time between Esa (as) and Muhammad (saws) is 600 years.
3) So the age of the Muslims = Age of the Jews the Age of Christians
Since the age of the Jews from the time of Musa(as)/Torah till the advent of Sayidina Muhammad sallahu 3laye wasalam is somewhat of a 2000 years or more, so putting the numbers in the equation we get
Age of the Muslims = 2000 years (approx.) 600 years
= 1400 years (approx.)
So from these calculations the estimated age of the muslims is derived a little more than 1400 years.
