Hadith Commentary:
What is meant here is that the time of the Major Resurrection (Qiyamah Kubra) is known to none except Allah, and every person's death is his minor resurrection (Qiyamah Sughra).
The relevance of the hadith to the chapter is as follows: the Prophet referred to death as resurrection (qiyamah), and on the Day of Resurrection all people will fall unconscious. In the verse: "So all those who are in the heavens and all those who are on the earth will fall unconscious" (), unconsciousness is also mentioned. This is the very translation of the chapter heading.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
The death of every person is his resurrection, meaning this is his minor resurrection (qiyamah sughra), and the major resurrection (qiyamah kubra) is that which will be established after death for the reckoning.
The purpose was to leave off questioning about the major resurrection, for only Allah, the Exalted, knows about it.
You should ask about the time in which your own time will come to an end.
This is better for you, so that before dying you may perform such righteous deeds that will benefit you after death.
(2)
The relevance of this hadith to the chapter heading is in the way that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has referred to death as resurrection (qiyamah), and on the Day of Resurrection, due to its severity, people will be falling unconscious, as is stated in the Word of Allah, the Exalted:
“You will see, on the Day of Resurrection, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, and every pregnant woman will miscarry, and you will see people as if they are intoxicated, though they are not intoxicated, but the punishment of Allah is severe.” (: al-Hajj: 2)
That is, on the Day of Resurrection, people will be so distraught that they will fall upon one another, just as moths fall upon a light.
