Sahih Muslim 2951e (Book 54, Hadith 169) #14462
The Prophet's Comparison of Himself and the Last Hour

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) compared himself and the Last Hour to two fingers joined together.

Anas reported Allah's Messenger as saying: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ الْمِسْمَعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَضَمَّ السَّبَّابَةَ وَالْوُسْطَى

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is reported to have said that he and the Last Hour are like two fingers joined together. This comparison implies that they are closely related in terms of time; just as two fingers cannot be separated from each other, so too will the coming of the Day of Judgment be close to his own time. This hadith also serves as a reminder for us to always stay prepared for our final reckoning with Allah SWT. It is important for us to remember that we must strive in this life to do good deeds so that we can be rewarded on Judgment Day. Additionally, it teaches us about how precious our time is; we should not waste it on things which will not benefit us in any way but instead use it wisely by doing acts which will bring us closer to Allah SWT.
