Musnad of Anas bin Malik
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2999 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: My being sent
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قَالَ : وَسَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ ، يَقُولُ : كَفَضْلِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى ، فَلَا أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My being sent and the Hour are close together like these two fingers." Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) say: "As one of these two fingers is somewhat larger than the other." I do not know whether he reported this from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) or whether it was Qatadah's (may Allah have mercy on him) own statement.
