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

حدثنا ابن عبد الوارث، عن حماد بن سلمة، عن الجريري، عن أبي المثنى، عن أبي أمامة، قال: «لا تقوم الساعة حتى يتحول خيار أهل العراق إلى الشام، وشرار أهل الشام إلى العراق» وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: «عليكم بالشام»

The Hour will not come until the best of the people of Iraq turn to the Sham (Greater Syria), and the worst of the people of the Sham (Greater Syria) turn to Iraq. You should go to the Sham (Greater Syria)

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1762 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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Sham (Greater Syria), Iraq.
