Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ يَعْنِي الْمَقْبُرِيَّ عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فَحَذَّرَ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ اقْعُدْ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ سَأَلْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَكْرَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ قَالَ فَبَسَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنْ الْأُولَى فَأَجْلَسْنَاهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَيْحَكَ وَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا قَالَ أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا حُبَّ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us, Layth told us, he said: Sa'id -- meaning al-Maqburi -- told me, from Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Namir, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and warned the people; then a man stood up and said, "When is the Hour, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, scowled in his face, so we said to him, "Sit down, for you have asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, something he dislikes." He said: Then he stood up a second time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, scowled in his face even more than the first time, so we made him sit. He said: Then he stood up a third time and said, "O Messenger of Allah, when is the Hour?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "Woe to you, and what have you prepared for it?" He said, "I have prepared for it love of Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him, "Sit, for you will be with whomever you love."
