وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَالِسٌ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ حَدِيثًا جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ سَمِعَ فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ”إِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الْأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ“ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا إِضَاعَتُهَا قَالَ ”إِذَا تَوَسَّدَ الْأَمْرُ غَيْرَ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was sitting in a gathering and speaking with the people, when a Bedouin came and asked: O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) come? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, continued his conversation. Some people said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, heard what he said, but disliked his question, and some said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not hear what he said. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, finished his conversation, he asked: Where is the one who inquired about the Hour? He replied: I am here, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When trusts are lost, then await the Hour. He asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by losing the trusts? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When matters are entrusted to those who are unqualified, then await the Hour.
