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

حدثنا نعيم ثنا الحكم بن نافع، عن جراح، عن أرطاة، عن كثير بن مرة، ويزيد بن شريح، وعمرو بن سليمان، قالوا: «آخر طلوع الشمس من المغرب يوم واحد قط، فيومئذ يطبع على القلوب بما فيها، وترفع الحفظة والعمل، وتؤمر الملائكة أن لا يكتبوا عملا، وتفزع الشمس والقمر خوفا من قيام الساعة»

The last day of the rising of the sun from the west is ever one day, and on that day it will be imprinted on the hearts, including what is in them, and those who have memorized and worked will be exalted, and the angels will be commanded not to write down any deeds, and the sun and the moon will be terrified for fear of the coming of the Hour.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1838 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.
