Musnad Abi Ya'la 2758 — a man asked the Prophet ﷺ: When will the Hour
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَتَى السَّاعَةُ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : أَمَا إِنَّهَا قَائِمَةٌ ، فَمَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا ؟ قَالَ : مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَبِيرًا ، إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : فَأَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ ، وَلَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : تَسْأَلُونَنِي عَنِ السَّاعَةِ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ مَنْفُوسَةٌ الْيَوْمَ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهَا مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ ، قَالَ : فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ فَجِيءَ بِالرَّجُلِ تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُ ، فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَى غُلَامٍ مِنْ دَوْسٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : سَعْدٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنْ يَعِشْ هَذَا لَا يَهْرَمُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْرُ الْغُلَامِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When will the Hour come?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is certainly going to come, but what have you prepared for it?" The man said: "I have not made any great preparation (of deeds) for it, except that I love Allah and His Messenger ((peace and blessings be upon him))." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then you will be with the one you loved, and you will have what you hoped for (of reward) from Allah." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You ask me about the Hour. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there is no living soul on the earth today upon which a hundred years will pass (while it remains alive)." The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, and after that he asked: "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" The man was brought, and (from intense fear) the muscles of his shoulders were trembling. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at a boy of the tribe of Daws called Sa'd and said: "If this child lives, he will not even reach old age before your Hour (that is, the death of the people of your era) comes." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: On that day I was of the same age as that boy.
