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

حدثنا نعيم ثنا أبو عبد الصمد، عن أبي عمران الجوني، عن أبي فراس، رجل من أسلم، قال: قال رجل لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: متى الساعة؟ قال: " ما المسئول عنها بأعلم من السائل، ولكن لها أعلام: إذا رعاء الشاء تطاولوا في البناء، وإذا الحفاة العراة كانوا ملوكا، وهم العريب "

The one asked about it does not know more than the questioner, but it has signs: When the shepherds of sheep competed in building, and when the barefoot and naked people were kings, and they are the Arabs.

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1810 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]: In the famous hadith of Jibril, one of the signs of the Hour is that barefoot, naked, poor shepherds will compete in building tall buildings.

[Described Characteristics]: People who were poor desert herders become wealthy and boast with ever higher buildings.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads over time and has no fixed place in the order of the signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: Wealth is a test. Build, but without pride or competition for show.
