( أَخْبَرَنَا ) عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَزَّازُ، ثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، ثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ:
بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ، يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ حَدِيثًا، جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَتَى السَّاعَةُ ؟ وَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ. فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: سَمِعَ مَا قَالَ، فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ، وَقَالَ بَعْضٌ: لَمْ يَسْمَعْ. حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ، قَالَ: أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ؟. قَالَ: هَذَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. قَالَ: " إِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الْأَمَانَةُ، فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ ". قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا إِضَاعَتُهَا ؟ قَالَ: " إِذَا أُسْنِدَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ، فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ

While the Prophet ﷺ was sitting in his gathering, speaking to the people, a Bedouin came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued speaking. Some of the people said: "He heard what he said, and disliked what he said." And some said: "He did not hear." Until, when he had finished his speech, he said: "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He said: "Here I am, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "When the trust is lost, then wait for the Hour." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how is it lost?" He said: "When authority is entrusted to those who are not qualified for it, then wait for the Hour."
