حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أَرْطَاةُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ مَسْلَمَةَ السَّكُونِيَّ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُ مُحَمَّدٍ : سَلَمَةَ السَّكُونِيَّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَلْ أُتِيتَ بِطَعَامٍ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ؟، قَالَ :" نَعَمْ أُتِيتُ بِطَعَامٍ "، قَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، هَلْ كَانَ فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلٍ؟، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ "، قَالَ : فَمَا فُعِلَ بِهِ؟، قَالِ : " رُفِعَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي غَيْرُ لَابِثٍ فِيكُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا، ثُمَّ تَلْبَثُونَ، حَتَّى تَقُولُوا : مَتَى مَتَى؟ ثُمَّ تَأْتُونِي أَفْنَادًا يُفْنِي بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا، بَيْنَ يَدَيْ السَّاعَةِ مُوتَانٌ شَدِيدٌ، وَبَعْدَهُ سَنَوَاتُ الزَّلَازِلِ "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #2812 in Sunan ad-Darimi.

[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 Prophet ﷺ said the Hour will not come until earthquakes become many.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration mentions it in a list with knowledge being taken away and time passing quickly, without further detail.

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

[Prophetic Practice]: When the earth shook in Kufa, Ibn Mas'ud said: 'Your Lord wants you to turn back to Him.'

[Core Subject]: In the hardest days, when the Muslims were few and besieged, the Prophet ﷺ foretold that they would conquer Persia, Rome, Yemen, Sham, Iraq, Egypt and Jerusalem.

[Described Characteristics]: While digging the trench around Madinah, he struck a rock and said he had been given the keys of Sham, Persia and Yemen. He told Adi ibn Hatim that a woman would travel alone from al-Hirah to the Ka'bah fearing no one but Allah, and that the treasures of Kisra would be spent in the path of Allah. Adi lived to see both. He told Suraqah he would wear Kisra's bracelets; Umar put them on him.

[Timeline & Context]: They came in the first decades after the Prophet ﷺ: Jerusalem in 15-16 AH, Egypt in 20-21 AH, and Persia by about 31 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: Hope in Allah's promise even in the narrowest times, as the Companions did at the trench.
