Sahih al-Bukhari 6506 (Book 81, Hadith 95) #6255
The Unexpected Hour

SUMMARY: The Hour of Judgement will come suddenly and unexpectedly, and no amount of faith or belief will be able to save a person from its consequences.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "The Hour will not be established till the sun rises from the west, and when it rises (from the west) and the people see it, then all of them will believe (in Allah). But that will be the time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If it believed not before".'. (6.158) The Hour will be established (so suddenly) that two persons spreading a garment between them will not be able to finish their bargain, nor will they be able to fold it up. The Hour will be established while a man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but cannot drink it; and the Hour will be established when someone is not able to prepare the tank to water his livestock from it; and the Hour will be established when some of you has raised his food to his mouth but cannot eat it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، فَإِذَا طَلَعَتْ فَرَآهَا النَّاسُ آمَنُوا أَجْمَعُونَ، فَذَلِكَ حِينَ لاَ يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا، لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ، أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ نَشَرَ الرَّجُلاَنِ ثَوْبَهُمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَلاَ يَتَبَايَعَانِهِ وَلاَ يَطْوِيَانِهِ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدِ انْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِلَبَنِ لِقْحَتِهِ فَلاَ يَطْعَمُهُ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَهْوَ يَلِيطُ حَوْضَهُ فَلاَ يَسْقِي فِيهِ، وَلَتَقُومَنَّ السَّاعَةُ وَقَدْ رَفَعَ أُكْلَتَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَلاَ يَطْعَمُهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Stay prepared for the arrival of Qiyamah by living our lives according to Islamic teachings .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the suddenness of the Day of Judgment, which is also known as Qiyamah. It tells us that when it comes, it will come suddenly and without warning. No one can predict when it will happen or prepare for it in advance. Even if someone has faith in Allah, they cannot use this faith to protect themselves from the consequences of Qiyamah. The hadith also mentions some examples of how sudden Qiyamah could be - two people bargaining over a garment won't have time to finish their deal; someone carrying milk won't have time to drink it; someone preparing a tank for watering livestock won't have time to do so; and someone raising food to their mouth won't have time to eat it. These examples show us just how unexpected Qiyamah could be - we must always stay prepared for its arrival by living our lives according to Islamic teachings.
