اَلْبَابُ الأَوَّلُ فِي قُرْب مَبْعَثِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ السَّاعَةِThe first chapter regarding the nearness of the Prophet's (peace be upon him) mission to the Hour
Hadith 12779
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ“ وَمَدَّ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My advent and the Hour are like these two fingers joined together. He then indicated by spreading his index and middle fingers.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By pointing with the middle finger and the index finger, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) may have had two objectives: (1) Just as these two fingers are close together and joined, so is the matter of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Hour (Qiyamah); (1) The distance remaining between the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Hour is only as much as the middle finger is longer than the index finger.
