Riyad as-Salihin — Hadith #46653

On his authority, he said: While the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was in a gathering speaking to the people, a Bedouin came to him and said: When is the Hour? So the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, went on speaking, and some of the people said: He heard what he said. He thought about what he said, and some of them said: Rather, he did not listen, until when he finished his speech, he said: “Where is the questioner about the Hour?” He said: Here I am, O Messenger of God. He said: “If your trust is lost, then wait for the Hour.” He said: How could you waste it? He said: “If the matter is entrusted to people who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour” ((Narrated by Al-Bukhari)).
