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

حدثنا ابن عيينة، عن أبي الزناد، عن الأعرج، عن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «تقوم الساعة والرجلان يتبايعان الثوب ولا يطويانه ولا يتبايعانه، حتى تقوم الساعة والرجل يحلب فلا يضع الإناء على فيه حتى تقوم الساعة، والرجل يلط الحوض فلا يسقي فيه حتى تقوم الساعة»

The Hour will come, and the two men will sell the garment and will not fold it or sell it, until the Hour will come, and the man will milk and will not put the pot on it until the Hour will come, and the man will fill the basin and will not water in it until the Hour will come.

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1809 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-Hawd is the Prophet's Pool (al-Kawthar), where his ummah drink before crossing. Al-Sirat is the Bridge laid over Hell that everyone must cross to reach Paradise.

[Described Characteristics]: The Pool's water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, its cups as many as the stars; whoever drinks from it never thirsts again. The Bridge is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword, with hooks on its sides. People cross according to their deeds: like lightning, like the wind, like fast horses, running, walking, crawling, and some are snatched into the Fire.

[Timeline & Context]: They come after the reckoning, before entering Paradise.

[Prophetic Practice]: Follow the Sunnah without changing it, so you are not turned away from the Pool.
