حدثنا عمرو بن محمد بن منصور العدل، ثنا عمر بن حفص، ثنا عاصم بن علي، ثنا المبارك بن فضالة، عن الحسن، عن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنهما قال: صحبنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعناه يقول: «إن بين يدي الساعة فتنا كقطع الليل المظلم يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ويمسي مؤمنا ويصبح كافرا، يبيع أقوام خلاقهم فيها بعرض من الدنيا يسير» قال الحسن: «والله لقد رأيناهم صورا بلا عقول، أجساما بلا أحلام، فراش نار وذبان طمع، يغدون بدرهمين ويروحون بدرهمين يبيع أحدهم دينه بثمن العنز»

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #6263 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص.

[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 warned of trials (fitan) that will come like pieces of a dark night, one after another, so confusing that a man is a believer in the morning and a disbeliever by evening.

[Described Characteristics]: People sell their religion for a small worldly gain. In such trials, the one sitting is better than the one standing, and the one standing better than the one running toward it.

[Timeline & Context]: They began after the Prophet's ﷺ death and continue in waves.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hasten to good deeds before trials like pieces of a dark night.' Seek refuge from the trials, the seen and the unseen.
