Hadith 12854

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.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … If you look at all the officials in Muslim countries, whether they are small or large, religious or political, you will find an unqualified person in every position—there is no need to give examples—except whom Allah wills. If, by chance, a qualified person has been entrusted with any service, he is not fulfilling its due right.
