And the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of myself and the Hour is like these two fingers." Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed a slight gap between his middle finger and his thumb. And he said: "The example of myself and the Hour is like two horses that are alike." Then he said: "The example of myself and the Hour is like that of a person whom his people have sent ahead as a scout. When he fears that the enemy will overtake him, he waves his garment to warn the people that the enemy has reached you." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That man is me."
