Each narration below is shown in its original Arabic alongside an English translation, with its chapter, number, and reference.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatada through another chain of transmitters.
" الْعِبَادَةُ فِي الْهَرْجِ كَهِجْرَةٍ إِلَىَّ "
Worshiping during the period of widespread turmoil is like emigration towards me.
وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ .
The previous hadith is narrated through Abu Kamil from Hammad with the same chain.
" لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلاَّ عَلَى شِرَارِ النَّاسِ "
The Last Hour would affect (most terribly) the wicked persons.
" بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ هَكَذَا "
I and the Last Hour are (close to each other) like this (and he, in order to explain it) pointed (by joining his) forefinger, (one) next to the thumb and the middle finger (together).
" بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ "
I and the Last Hour have been sent like this. Shu'ba 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.
" بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ هَكَذَا "
I heard Qatada and Abu Tayyab narrating that both of them heard Anas as narrating that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: I and the Last Hour have been sent like this, and Shu'ba drew his forefinger and middle finger near each other while narrating it.
وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ، بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا .
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Anas through another chain of transmitters.
وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ، - يَعْنِي الضَّبِّيَّ - وَأَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمْ .
Anas reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying like this, but he narrated it through another chain of transmitters.
" بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ "
I and the Last Hour have been sent like this and (he while doing it) joined the forefinger with the middle finger.
