قرأت على يحيى بن سعيد: عثمان بن غياث، قال: حدثني عبد الله بن بريدة، عن يحيى بن يعمر، وحميد بن عبد الرحمن الحميري، قالا: لقينا عبد الله بن عمر، فذكرنا القدر، وما يقولون فيه، فقال: إذا رجعتم إليهم، فقولوا: إن ابن عمر منكم بريء، وأنتم منه برآء - ثلاث مرار - ثم قال: أخبرني عمر بن الخطاب أنهم بينما هم جلوس - أو قعود - عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، جاءه رجل يمشي، حسن الوجه، حسن الشعر، عليه ثياب بياض، فنظر القوم بعضهم إلى بعض: ما نعرف هذا، وما هذا بصاحب سفر. ثم قال: يا رسول الله، آتيك؟ قال: " نعم " فجاء فوضع ركبتيه عند ركبتيه، ويديه على فخذيه، فقال: ما الإسلام؟ قال: " شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، وتقيم الصلاة، وتؤتي الزكاة، وتصوم رمضان، وتحج البيت " قال: فما الإيمان؟ قال: " أن تؤمن بالله، وملائكته، والجنة والنار، والبعث بعد الموت، والقدر كله "، قال: فما الإحسان؟ قال: " أن تعمل لله كأنك تراه، فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك " قال: فمتى الساعة؟ قال: " ما المسئول عنها بأعلم من السائل "، قال: فما أشراطها؟ قال: " إذا العراة الحفاة العالة رعاء الشاء تطاولوا في البنيان، وولدت الإماء أربابهن " قال: ثم قال: " علي الرجل "، فطلبوه فلم يروا شيئا، فمكث يومين أو ثلاثة، ثم قال: " يا ابن الخطاب، أتدري من السائل عن كذا وكذا؟ " قال: الله ورسوله أعلم، قال: " ذاك جبريل جاءكم يعلمكم دينكم " . قال: وسأله رجل من جهينة أو من مزينة، فقال: يا رسول الله، فيم نعمل، أفي شيء قد خلا أو مضى، أو في شيء يستأنف الآن؟ قال: " في شيء قد خلا، أو مضى " فقال رجل، أو بعض القوم: يا رسول الله، فيم نعمل؟ قال: " أهل الجنة ييسرون لعمل أهل الجنة، وأهل النار ييسرون لعمل أهل النار " . قال: يحيى قال: هو كذا .

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #184 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]: In the famous hadith of Jibril, one of the signs of the Hour is that barefoot, naked, poor shepherds will compete in building tall buildings.

[Described Characteristics]: People who were poor desert herders become wealthy and boast with ever higher buildings.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads over time and has no fixed place in the order of the signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: Wealth is a test. Build, but without pride or competition for show.

[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.'

[Core Subject]: Jahannam, Hellfire, is the abode of punishment for those who rejected Allah and for whom He decrees it. Believers who enter it for their sins are eventually brought out; the disbelievers remain.

[Described Characteristics]: Our fire is one of seventy parts of its heat. Its fuel is people and stones. It has seven gates. The lightest punishment in it is a man with embers under his feet that make his brain boil.

[Timeline & Context]: People enter it after the judgment. Like Paradise, it already exists now.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Protect yourselves from the Fire, even with half a date in charity.' And ask: 'Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell.'
