وحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْبَدُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ الْعَنَزِيُّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَل النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ ؟ ، قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى غُلَامٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنْ أَزْدِ شَنُوءَةَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنْ عُمِّرَ هَذَا لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ الْهَرَمُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ " ، قَالَ : قَالَ أَنَسٌ : ذَاكَ الْغُلَامُ مِنْ أَتْرَابِي يَوْمَئِذٍ .
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that a person asked Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) : When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept quiet for a while, then looked at a young boy in his presence belonging to the tribe of Azd Shanilwa and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come to you. Anas said that this young boy was of our age during those days.
