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

حدثنا الحكم بن نافع، عن سعيد بن سنان، عن أبي الزاهرية، عن كثير بن مرة، قال: «من علامات البلاء وأشراط الساعة أن يطرقهم صوت من السماء ليلا، فيروعهم الصوت، فبينا هم في روعتهم إذ بعث الله أصواتا من السماء كأصوات الأسد تروع القلوب، وتخطف الأنفس، فبينا هم في روعتهم إذ تحدث علامة من السماء يتبادرون لها بالإيمان، مؤمنهم وكافرهم»

One of the signs of calamity and signs of the Hour is that a sound from the sky will strike them at night, and they will be terrified by the sound, so they are in their terror when Allah sends voices from the sky like the sounds of a lion that terrify hearts and snatch souls, so they are in their terror when a sign occurs from the sky to which they rush to believe, both believers and disbelievers.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1833 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.
