حدثنا حجاج، حدثنا ليث، قال: حدثني سعيد يعني المقبري، عن شريك بن عبد الله بن أبي نمر، عن أنس بن مالك، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قام فحذر الناس. فقام رجل فقال: متى الساعة يا رسول الله؟ فبسر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في وجهه. فقلنا له: اقعد، فإنك قد سألت رسول الله ما يكره، ثم قام الثانية، فقال يا رسول الله: متى الساعة؟ قال: فبسر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في وجهه أشد من الأولى، قال: فأجلسناه، قال: ثم قام الثالثة، فقال يا رسول الله: متى الساعة؟ فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " ويحك، وما أعددت لها؟ " قال الرجل: أعددت لها حب الله ورسوله. فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " اجلس، فإنك مع من أحببت "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #12703 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.
