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

حدثنا ابن المبارك، عن مالك بن مغول، قال: سمعت إسماعيل بن رجاء، يحدث، عن الشعبي، قال: " لقي جبريل عيسى عليهما السلام ، فقال له عيسى: يا جبريل، متى الساعة؟ فانتفض في أجنحته ثم قال: ما المسئول عنها بأعلم من السائل {ثقلت في السموات والأرض لا تأتيكم إلا بغتة} ، وقال: {لا يجليها لوقتها إلا هو} [الأعراف: 187] "

Gabriel met Jesus, peace be upon them, and Jesus said to him: O Gabriel, when is the hour? Then he twitched his wings and said: The one being asked about it does not know more than the questioner. {It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It will not come to you except suddenly}, and he said: {No one will clear it at its appointed time except Him} [Al-A’raf: 187].

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1781 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.
