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

قال معمر: فأخبرنا زيد بن أسلم، عن أبي هريرة، قال: «ولا تقوم الساعة حتى ينزل عيسى ابن مريم إماما مقسطا، وحكما عادلا، وتبتز قريش الإمارة، ويقتل الخنزير، ويكسر الصليب، وتوضع الجزية، وتكون السجدة واحدة لله رب العالمين، وتضع الحرب أوزارها، وتملأ الأرض من السلم كما يملأ الإناء من الماء، وتكون الأرض كقارورة الورق، وترفع الشحناء والعداوة والبغضاء، ويكون الذئب في الغنم كلبها، والأسد في الإبل كأنه عجلها»

The Hour will not come until Jesus, son of Mary, descends as a just Imam and a just ruler, and Quraysh blackmails the emirate, and the pig is killed, and the cross is broken, and the tribute is imposed, and the prostration is one and the same to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and war takes its burdens, and the earth is filled with peace as a vessel is filled with water, and the earth is like a flask of paper, and hostility, enmity, and hatred are removed, and the wolf is among the sheep as its dog, and the lion is among the camels as if they were their calf.

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1609 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]: Isa (Jesus, AS), son of Maryam, was not killed or crucified; Allah raised him up. Near the end of time he descends again, kills the Dajjal, and rules by the law of Muhammad ﷺ as a just ruler.

[Described Characteristics]: He descends at the white minaret east of Damascus, wearing two saffron-dyed garments, his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall like pearls. He finds the Dajjal at the gate of Lud and kills him. He breaks the cross, kills the pig, abolishes the jizyah, and wealth becomes so plentiful no one accepts it. He lives on earth for a time, marries, then dies and the Muslims pray over him.

[Timeline & Context]: He descends during the Dajjal's forty days, just as the Muslims are getting ready for prayer, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj come out in his time.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever of you meets him, convey my salam to him.
