وَقَالَ أَبُو حَازِمٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: قَالَ أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ السَّاعَةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ ". وَفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ إِصْبُعَيْهِ الْوُسْطَى وَالَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ السَّاعَةِ كَمَثَلِ فَرَسَيْ رِهَانٍ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَثَلِي وَمَثَلُ السَّاعَةِ كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ بَعَثَهُ قَوْمُهُ طَلِيعَةً، فَلَمَّا خَشِيَ أَنْ يُسْبَقَ أَلَاحَ بِثَوْبِهِ: أُتِيتُمْ أُتِيتُمْ ". ثُمَّ يَقُولُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَا ذَلِكَ " (٣)، ،

English translation

And the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "The example of myself and the Hour is like these two fingers." Saying this, the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) said: "That man is me."
