While the Prophet ﷺ was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued his talk, so some people said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ had not heard it. When the Prophet ﷺ finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who inquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"
