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