Hadith 8824

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا وَرْقَاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَتَقُم السَّاعَةُ وَثَوْبُهُمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَا يَطْوِيَانِهِ وَلَا يَتَبَايَعَانِهِ ، وَلَتَقُمِ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ حَلَبَ لِقْحَتَهُ لَا يَطْعَمُهُ ، وَلَتَقُمِ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ رَفَعَ لُقْمَتَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ وَلَا يَطْعَمُهَا ، وَلَتَقُمِ السَّاعَةُ وَالرَّجُلُ يَلِيطُ حَوْضَهُ لَا يَسْقِي مِنْهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Hour (Day of Judgment) will be established while two men are engaged in buying and selling with each other; the cloth will be between them, they will have spread it out, but the transaction will not be completed. Similarly, a man will have milked his animal, but before he can drink it, the Hour will be established. A man will have lifted a morsel to his mouth, but before he can eat it, the Hour will be established. And a man will be plastering his pond, but before he can water it, the Hour will be established.
