حدثنا محمد بن الصباح، قال: حدثنا إسماعيل يعني ابن زكريا، عن سهيل، عن أبيه، عن أبي هريرة، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " لا تقوم الساعة حتى تعود أرض العرب مروجا وأنهارا، وحتى يسير الراكب بين العراق ومكة، لا يخاف إلا ضلال الطريق، وحتى يكثر الهرج "، قالوا: وما الهرج؟ يا رسول الله، قال: " القتل "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8833 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]: Al-harj means much killing. The Prophet ﷺ said it will increase before the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: Killing becomes so common that the killer does not know why he killed and the victim does not know why he was killed.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads among people over time, alongside other signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: In times of fitnah the Prophet ﷺ advised: be like the better of Adam's two sons, the one who is killed rather than the one who kills.

[Core Subject]: The Hour will not come until the land of the Arabs returns to being meadows and rivers.

[Described Characteristics]: The desert of Arabia becomes green with pasture and flowing water.

[Timeline & Context]: It is mentioned together with wealth overflowing, and has no fixed place in the order of the signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'If the Hour comes while one of you has a sapling in his hand, let him plant it.'

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Makkah, Iraq.
