حدثنا ابن أبي عدي، عن حميد، عن أنس، أن عبد الله بن سلام أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مقدمه المدينة، فقال: يا رسول الله إني سائلك عن ثلاث خصال، لا يعلمهن إلا نبي قال: " سل "، قال: ما أول أشراط الساعة؟، وما أول ما يأكل منه أهل الجنة؟، ومن أين يشبه الولد أباه وأمه؟، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أخبرني بهن جبريل عليه السلام آنفا ". قال: ذلك عدو اليهود من الملائكة، قال: " أما أول أشراط الساعة، فنار تخرج من المشرق فتحشر الناس إلى المغرب. وأما أول ما يأكل منه أهل الجنة، زيادة كبد حوت. وأما شبه الولد أباه وأمه، فإذا سبق ماء الرجل، ماء المرأة، نزع إليه الولد، وإذا سبق ماء المرأة ماء الرجل نزع إليها ". قال: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأنك رسول الله، وقال: يا رسول الله، إن اليهود قوم بهت، وإنهم إن يعلموا بإسلامي يبهتوني عندك، فأرسل إليهم فاسألهم عني: أي رجل ابن سلام فيكم؟ قال: فأرسل إليهم فقال: " أي رجل عبد الله بن سلام فيكم؟ " قالوا: خيرنا وابن خيرنا، وعالمنا وابن عالمنا، وأفقهنا وابن أفقهنا، قال: " أرأيتم إن أسلم تسلمون؟ " قالوا: أعاذه الله من ذلك، قال: فخرج ابن سلام فقال: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله، قالوا: شرنا وابن شرنا، وجاهلنا وابن جاهلنا، فقال ابن سلام: هذا الذي كنت أتخوف منهم

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #12057 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Hour (al-Sa'ah) is the moment this world ends. Everything alive dies, the universe is undone, and then comes the resurrection. The Quran mentions it again and again, and the Prophet ﷺ spoke of the signs that come before it.

[Described Characteristics]: It comes suddenly, while people are busy with their lives: one man is selling cloth, another is fixing his water trough, another is lifting food to his mouth, and none of them finishes. Before it come signs, small ones that spread slowly and ten great ones that come close together.

[Timeline & Context]: Only Allah knows. The Quran says its knowledge is with Him alone, and when Jibril asked the Prophet ﷺ, he answered: the one asked knows no more than the one asking. Any date or countdown contradicts this.

[Prophetic Practice]: A man asked, 'When is the Hour?' The Prophet ﷺ asked back, 'What have you prepared for it?' The real question is our own preparation, not the date.

[Core Subject]: The last of the ten great signs: a fire that comes out of Yemen, from the depths of Aden, and drives people to the place of their gathering.

[Described Characteristics]: The fire stays with people where they stop for the night and where they rest at midday, moving them on. Sahih al-Bukhari describes people gathered in groups, some riding two or three or ten on one camel, toward the land of the gathering, which scholars identify as Sham.

[Timeline & Context]: It is named last among the ten great signs, and is taken as the final sign before the Hour.

[Prophetic Practice]: Each of these signs is a reminder that the time for deeds is now.

[Core Subject]: Jannah, Paradise, is the eternal home of the believers: 'what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined'.

[Described Characteristics]: Gardens with rivers of water, milk, honey and pure drink; a hundred levels, the highest al-Firdaws under the Throne. No illness, no ageing, no sorrow, no death. Its greatest joy is seeing Allah, and His saying: 'I am pleased with you and will never be displeased with you after this.'

[Timeline & Context]: After the Bridge, the believers enter it forever. Paradise already exists now.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'When you ask Allah, ask for al-Firdaws.'

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah.
