Musnad Abi Ya'la 4049 — the Bedouins were the boldest of people
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعِ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ جَدِّي ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ أَجْرَأَ النَّاسِ عَلَى مَسْأَلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْأَعْرَابُ ، أَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَتَى السَّاعَةُ ؟ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ، حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى فَأَخَفَّ الصَّلَاةَ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ، وَقَالَ : أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ؟ وَمَرَّ سَعْدٌ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنْ هَذَا عُمِّرَ حَتَّى يَأْكُلَ عُمُرَهُ ، لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْكُمْ عَيْنٌ تَطْرِفُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Bedouins were the boldest of people in asking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) questions. A Bedouin came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour come?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him no answer until he came to the mosque and offered the prayer, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept the prayer short. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the Bedouin and asked: "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" Meanwhile Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If this one is given life until he reaches the full span of his life, then (by that time) not a single blinking eye of yours will remain (alive)."
