Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #7115 in Sahih al-Bukhari.

[Authenticity & Isnad]: Authentic (Sahih) by consensus of the scholars through its inclusion in the Sahihayn.

[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 Hour will not come until a man passes by another man's grave and says: I wish I were in his place.'

[Described Characteristics]: In a narration in Sahih Muslim he rolls over the grave saying it, and it is not religion that moves him but the hardship of his trials.

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

[Prophetic Practice]: Do not wish for death because of hardship. If you must, say: 'O Allah, keep me alive while life is better for me, and take me when death is better for me.'
