حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ وَهْبٍ السَّوَائِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتَسْبِقَهَا“ وَجَمَعَ الْأَعْمَشُ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ إِنْ كَادَتْ لَتَسْبِقَنِي
Sayyiduna Wahb Suwai reports, he says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: My sending and the Hour are so closely connected as this finger is with the other finger. Indeed, it was near that the Hour would have been established before my sending. Then Imam A’mash joined his index finger and middle finger together and gestured.
