Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا عبد الوهاب بن عبد المجيد الثقفي، حدثنا يونس بن عبيد، عن الحسن، عن أبي موسى الأشعري، رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «إن بين يدي الساعة لهرجا» قالوا: وما الهرج؟ قال: «القتل والكذب» قالوا: يا رسول الله، قتل أكثر مما يقتل الآن من الكفار؟ قال: «إنه ليس بقتلكم للكفار، ولكن يقتل الرجل جده وأخاه وابن عمه»

Indeed, before the Hour there is a commotion. They said: What is the commotion? He said: Murder and lying. They said: O Messenger of Allah, more infidels were killed than are being killed now? He said: It is not your killing of infidels, but rather a man killing his grandfather, his brother, and his cousin

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #10 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.
