■ [ Hadiths about the Last Hour ] ■ There are several Hadiths with this meaning. Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bazzar recorded that Anas said that one day, when the sun was about to set, the Messenger of Allah gave a speech to his Companions, saying, (By He in Whose Hand is my soul! Not much of this world is left compared to what has already passed of it, except as much as what is left in this day of yours compared to what has already passed of it.) Anas said, We could only see a small part of the setting sun at the time. Another Hadith that supports and explains the above Hadith is recorded by Imam Ahmad that `Abdullah bin `Umar said, We were sitting with the Prophet while the sun was rising above Qu`ayqa`an, after `Asr. He said, (What remains of your time, compared to what has passed, is as long as what remains of this day compared to what has passed of it.) Imam Ahmad recorded that Sahl bin Sa`d said that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, (I was sent like this with the Last Hour.) and he pointed with his middle and index finger. The Two Sahihs also recorded this Hadith. Imam Ahmad recorded that Wahb As-Suwai said that the Messenger of Allah said, (I was sent just before the Last Hour, like the distance between this and this; the latter almost overtook the former.) Al-A`mash joined between his index and middle fingers while narrating this Hadith. Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Awza`i said that Isma`il bin `Ubaydullah said, Anas bin Malik went to Al-Walid bin `Abdul-Malik who asked him about what he heard from the Messenger of Allah about the Last Hour. Anas said, `I heard the Messenger of Allah say, (You and the Last Hour are as close as these two (fingers).) Only Imam Ahmad collected this Hadith. There is proof to support these Hadiths in the Sahih listing, Al-Hashir (literally the Gatherer), among the names of the Messenger of Allah ; he is the first to be gathered, and all people will be gathered thereafter (for the Day of Judgement). Allahs statement, (and the moon has been cleft asunder.) It occurred during the time of Allahs Messenger , according to the authentic Mutawatir Hadiths the scholars agree that the moon was cleft asunder during the lifetime of the Prophet, and it was among the clear miracles that Allah gave him. Hadiths mentioning that the Moon was split ■ The Narration of Anas bin Malik Imam Ahmad recorded that Anas bin Malik said, The people of Makkah asked the Prophet for a miracle and the moon was split into two parts in Makkah. Allah said, (The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.) Muslim also collected this Hadith. Al-Bukhari recorded that Anas bin Malik said, The people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah to produce a miracle, and he showed them the splitting of the moon into two parts, until they saw (the mount of) Hira between them. This Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs with various chains of narration. ■ The Hour draws near; the cleaving of the Moon Allah informs about the approach of the Last Hour and the imminent end and demise of the world, (The Event ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it.)(Q 16:1), (Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness.)(Q 21:1) Quran 54(1. The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder.) (2. And if they see an Ayah, they turn away and say: This is magic, Mustamir.) (3. They denied and followed their own lusts. And every matter will be settled.) (4. And indeed there has come to them news wherein there is Muzdajar.) (5. Perfect wisdom, but warners benefit them not.)
