When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) kept quiet for a while. Then looked at a young boy in his presence belonging to the tribe of Azd Shanu'a and he said: If this boy lives he would not grow very old till the Last Hour would come ''to you''. Anas said that this young boy was of our age during those days. | When would the Last Hour come? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (way peace be upon him) kept quiet for a while.

There are two versions of this hadith. In this version, the "to you" was added by the translators to indicate that it is the last hour (death) of the people who asked. However this qualification is entirely absent in the Arabic text. This version of the hadith reported by Anas just says "until the hour comes" (حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ) (see also {{Bukhari|8|73|188}} quoted below where Anas seems to be a witness, {{Muslim|41|7051}}, and {{Muslim|41|7053}}). Another version of the hadith is reported by Aisha and instead has the phrase "until your hour comes to you" (حَتَّى تَقُومَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَاعَتُكُمْ) {{Bukhari|8|76|518}} and {{Muslim|41|7050}}. | |||

"If this (slave) should live long, he will not reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be established." | ...In the meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira passed by, and he was of the same age as I was.
