اخبرنا الحسن بن سفيان الشيباني ، حدثنا عبد الاعلى بن حماد ، وهدبة بن خالد ، قالا: حدثنا حماد بن سلمة ، عن ثابت ، عن انس ان رجلا، قال: يا رسول الله متى تقوم الساعة؟ واقيمت الصلاة فلما قضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاته، قال:" اين السائل عن الساعة؟" قال: ها انا ذا يا رسول الله، قال:" إنها قائمة فما اعددت لها؟"، قال: ما اعددت لها كبير عمل غير اني احب الله ورسوله، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: انت مع من احببت"، قال: وعنده رجل من الانصار يقال له محمد، فقال:" إن يعش هذا، فلا يدركه الهرم حتى تقوم الساعة" زاد هدبة: قال انس: فنحن نحب الله ورسوله، قال ابو حاتم: هذا الخبر من الالفاظ التي اطلقت بتعيين خطاب مراده التحذير، وذاك ان المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم اراد تحذير الناس عن الركون إلى هذه الدنيا، بتعريفهم الشيء الذي يكون بخلدهم تقبل حقيقته من قرب الساعة عليهم، دون اعتمادهم على ما يسمعون.
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" Meanwhile, the prayer was called. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the prayer, he inquired, "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I am here." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It will certainly come to pass, but what preparation have you made for it?" He replied, "I have not prepared much in terms of deeds, but I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You will be with those whom you love." The narrator states: At that time, there was an Ansari man named Muhammad present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If he remains alive, the Hour will be established before he becomes old." Here, the narrator named Hadbah has narrated these additional words. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We love Allah and His Messenger.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:): This narration belongs to those in which the address is kept general, and by it is meant prohibition, that is, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to prohibit people from inclining towards this world, and he described before them the virtue of something related to their eternal life, the reality of which accepts that the time of the Hour is near for those people, and they should not rely on what they are hearing.
