Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Hour will be established upon people while there will be a cloth between them, about which they will be concluding a deal, but they will neither be able to spread it nor fold it. The Hour will be established upon a person while there will be a morsel in his mouth, but he will neither be able to swallow it nor spit it out."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Harith is Muhammad bin Ziyad, and the narrator named Maisur is the son of Abdur Rahman.
