Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this. Shu'bah said: I heard Qatada as saying in his narration: The excellence of one over the other. And I do not know whether he narrated it from Anas or Qatada himself said so.

Shu'bah reported: I heard Qatada and Abu Tayyab narrating that both of them heard Anas as narrating that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this, and Shu'bah drew his forefinger and middle finger near each other while narrating it.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters.

Anas reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.

'A'isha reported that when the desert Arabs came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) they asked about the Last Hour as to when that would come. And he looked towards the youngest amongst them and said: If he lives he would not grow very old that he would find your Last Hour coming to you that would see you dying).

Anas reported that a person asked Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as to when the Last Hour would come. He had in his presence a young boy of the Ansar who was called Mohammad. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: If this young boy lives, he may not grow very old till (he would see) the Last Hour coming to you.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that a person asked Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) kept quiet for a while, then looked at a young boy in his presence belonging to the tribe of Azd Shanilwa and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come to you. Anas said that this young boy was of our age during those days.

Anas reported: A young boy of Mughira bin Shu'bah happened to pass by (the Holy Prophet) and he was of my age Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: If he lives long he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come (to the old People of this generation).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The Last Hour would come (so sudden) that a person would be milking the she-camel and the (milk) would not reach the brim of the vessel that the Last Hour would come, and the two persons would be engaged in buying and selling of the clothes and their bargain would not be struck before the Last Hour would come. And someone would be setting his tank in order and he would have hardly set it right when the Last Hour would come.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Between the two blowiings of the trumpet (there would be an interval of forty). They said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , do you mean forty days? He said: I cannot say anything. They said: Do you mean fortv months? He said: I cannot say anything They said: Do you mean forty years? He said: I cannot say anything. Then Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (spinal chord) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection.
