حدثنا عفان، حدثنا حماد بن زيد، حدثنا أيوب، عن أبي قلابة، عن أبي أسماء، عن ثوبان قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إن الله أو إن ربي زوى لي الأرض مشارقها، ومغاربها وإن أمتي سيبلغ ملكها ما زوي لي منها، وأعطيت الكنزين: الأحمر والأبيض، وإني سألت ربي لأمتي أن لا يهلكها بسنة بعامة، ولا يسلط عليهم عدوا من سوى أنفسهم فيستبيح بيضتهم حتى يكون بعضهم يسبي بعضا، وبعضهم يهلك بعضا، ولو اجتمع عليهم من بين أقطارها، أو قال: من بأقطارها، ألا وإني أخاف على أمتي الأئمة المضلين، وإذا وضع السيف في أمتي لم يرفع عنها إلى يوم القيامة، ولا تقوم الساعة حتى تلحق قبائل من أمتي بالمشركين، وحتى تعبد قبائل من أمتي الأوثان "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #22452 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]: Before the Hour some tribes of the ummah will join the idolaters and worship idols again.

[Described Characteristics]: The women of the tribe of Daws will sway their hips again around Dhu al-Khalasah, an idol they worshipped before Islam. Al-Lat and al-Uzza will be worshipped again.

[Timeline & Context]: The return of al-Lat and al-Uzza comes after the gentle wind has taken the believers.

[Prophetic Practice]: Tawhid must be learned and taught to every generation; it is never automatic.

[Core Subject]: Yawm al-Qiyamah, the Day of Resurrection, is the Day when all people stand before Allah to be judged. It has many names in the Quran: the Day of Recompense, the Day of Reckoning, the Overwhelming, the Inevitable.

[Described Characteristics]: A nursing mother forgets her baby, a pregnant woman miscarries, and people look drunk though they are not. A person flees from his brother, mother, father, wife and children; each has enough worry of his own. Allah speaks to each person directly with no interpreter between them.

[Timeline & Context]: It begins with the second blow of the Trumpet and moves through its stages: resurrection, gathering, intercession, reckoning and the scales, the Pool and the Bridge, and then Paradise or Hell.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'A person's feet will not move on that Day until he is asked about four things: his life and how he spent it, his knowledge and what he did with it, his wealth, where he earned it and how he spent it, and his body and how he used it.'
