Narated By Abu Huraira: While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin
came and asked him, “When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?” Allah’s Apostle
continued his talk, so some people said that Allah’s Apostle had heard the question, but did not
like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah’s Apostle had not heard it.
When the Prophet finished his speech, he said, “Where is the questioner, who enquired about
the Hour (Doomsday)?” The Bedouin said, “I am here, O Allah’s Apostle.” Then the Prophet
said, “When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday).” The Bedouin said, “How will
that be lost?” The Prophet said, “When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit
persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)”
