I and the Hour were sent like these two

The Hour will come, and the two men will have spread the garment between them, and they will not sell it nor fold it, until the Hour will come, and the man will have raised his piece of food and will not put it in his mouth until the Hour will come, and the man will have touched his pelvis, so he will not kneel in it until the Hour will come.

Ibn al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Malik ibn Mughul, he said: I heard Ismail ibn Raja’, speaking, on the authority of al-Sha’bi, who said: “Gabriel met Jesus, peace be upon them both, and Jesus said to him: O Gabriel, when is the Hour? He fluttered in his wings and then said: Who is asked about it with knowledge of it 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 time except Him} [Al-A’raf: 187]”

If, when the Hour comes, the mountains of the sea will come out to the land, and the mountains of the land will fall into the sea, and the sea will come out and overflow on the earth, and not a structure or mountain will remain on the face of the earth except that it collapses and collapses, and the stars are scattered, and the sky changes, and the earth splits in fear of the coming of the Hour, then the Hour will come.

The Hour will not come until a year is like a month, a month is like a Friday, a Friday is like a day, and a day is like the burning of fire

Ibn Wahb told us, on the authority of Amr ibn al-Harith, on the authority of Saeed ibn Abi Hilal, on the authority of Ayyash ibn Abdullah ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Abu Ma’bad, the client of Ibn Abbas, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: “The Hour will not come until people flock together on the roads just as animals flock together, men seeking relief from men, and women from women. Do you know what crushing means? They said: No. He said: A woman rides a woman and then crushes her.”

Whoever is asked about it knows no better than the questioner, but its signs are the approaching of the markets, rain and no vegetation, the appearance of backbiting, the appearance of the children of unrighteousness, glorification of the owner of money, the loudness of the voices of the immoral in the mosques, and the rise of the people of evil over the people of good.

The Hour will not come until people flock to the roads like donkeys

Al-Mu'tamir bin Sulaiman told us, on the authority of Laith, on the authority of Mujahid, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The Hour will not come upon the one who says: There is no god but Allah, and the king wants to blow the trumpet, so if he hears someone say: There is no god but Allah, the last of it will be seventy autumns.”

It is narrated on the authority of Anas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:"The Hour (Resurrection) will not occur as long as anyone says: 'Allah, Allah

My example and the example of the Hour is the example of a people who sent an eye and it saw the enemy, but feared that the enemy would precede him to his companions, so he brandished his sword. You have come, and I have come as an envoy before the Hour.

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.

Naim told us, Abu Abd al-Samad told us, on the authority of Abu Imran al-Juni, on the authority of Abu Firas, a man from Islam, who said: A man said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: When is the time? He said: “The one asked about it is not more knowledgeable 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 were the Arabs.”

The Hour will not come until it rains on the people, nothing but houses of poetry

I was sent at this time

The Hour will not come until Hajj is not performed on the House

The Hour and I were sent like this one

The Hour will not come until trees and buildings increase, and the trees do not produce leaves

The Hour will not come until a man manages the affairs of fifty women

The Hour will not come until the year is like the month, and the month is like Friday, and Friday is like the day, and the day is like the hour, and the hour is like the burning of the palm tree.

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.

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.

When the sun rises from the west, mothers will be distracted from their children, and beloved ones will be distracted from the fruits of their hearts, and every soul will be preoccupied with what he has given it. After that no repentance will be accepted for anyone except one who has been good in his faith, for it will be written for him after that as it was written for them before that. As for the disbelievers, it will be sorrow and remorse for them. If a man produced a horse, he would not ride it until the Hour comes from the time the sun rises from the west until the Hour rises, and the Hour will come and the people will be in In their markets, the two men have spread the garment and do not sell it nor fold it, and the man has raised his piece of food to his mouth and does not feed it.

Abu hurairah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying:The last hour will not come before you fight with a people whose sandals are of hair, and the Last hour will not come before you fight with a people who have small eyes, short noses, and whose faces look as if they were shields covered with skin

Among the signs of the Hour is that you will fight a people whose faces are like hammered shields, and you will fight a people whose shoes are covered with hair.
