It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said: The truest word is the Book of Allah, the best way is the way of Muhammad, the worst things are newly invented matters. Then, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued mentioning the Day of Judgment, his voice would become louder and his passion would increase, and it seemed as if he was warning against an approaching army. Then he said: I and the Hour have been sent like this. Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his index and middle fingers.
