Sahih al-Bukhari

Chapter 3 · Knowledgeمَنْ سُئِلَ عِلْمًا وَهُوَ مُشْتَغِلٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَأَتَمَّ الْحَدِيثَ ثُمَّ أَجَابَ السَّائِلَ
One who is asked about knowledge while occupied with his talk, completes the talk and then answers the questioner
بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي مَجْلِسٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحَدِّثُ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ سَمِعَ مَا قَالَ، فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ، حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ " أَيْنَ ـ أُرَاهُ ـ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ ". قَالَ هَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " فَإِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ ". قَالَ كَيْفَ إِضَاعَتُهَا قَالَ " إِذَا وُسِّدَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ ".

Translation
Abu Hurairah reported: While the Prophet ﷺ was in a gathering speaking to the people, a Bedouin came to him and said, “When is the Hour?” But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on speaking. Some of the people said, “He heard what he said and disliked what he said,” and some of them said, “Rather, he did not hear.” When he had finished his talk, he said, “Where is – I think (he said) – the one who asked about the Hour?” He said, “Here I am, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “When the trust is lost, then wait for the Hour.” He said, “How is it lost?” He said, “When authority is entrusted to those not fit for it, then wait for the Hour.”

Abu Huraira berichtete: Während der Prophet ﷺ in einer Versammlung zu den Leuten sprach, kam ein Beduine zu ihm und sagte: „Wann ist die Stunde?“ Der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ aber sprach weiter. Da sagten einige der Leute: „Er hat gehört, was er gesagt hat, und ihm missfiel, was er gesagt hat.“ Und einige von ihnen sagten: „Nein, vielmehr hat er es nicht gehört.“ Als er schließlich seine Rede beendet hatte, sagte er: „Wo ist – ich glaube (er sagte): – der nach der Stunde Fragende?“ Er sagte: „Hier bin ich, o Gesandter Allahs.“ Er sagte: „Wenn das anvertraute Gut vergeudet wird, dann erwarte die Stunde.“ Er sagte: „Wie wird es vergeudet?“ Er sagte: „Wenn die Angelegenheit jemandem übertragen wird, der ihrer nicht würdig ist, dann erwarte die Stunde.“
Türkçe
Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ bir mecliste topluluğa konuşurken bir bedevi ona geldi ve “Kıyamet ne zaman?” dedi. Resûlullah ﷺ konuşmasına devam etti. Topluluğun bir kısmı, “Ne dediğini duydu, fakat söylediğinden hoşlanmadı” dedi; bir kısmı da “Hayır, duymadı” dedi. Nihayet sözünü bitirince, “Kıyameti soran –sanırım böyle dedi– nerede?” buyurdu. Adam, “İşte buradayım, ey Allah'ın Resûlü” dedi. “Emanet zayi edildiği zaman kıyameti bekle” buyurdu. Adam, “Onun zayi edilmesi nasıl olur?” dedi. “İş ehli olmayana verildiği zaman kıyameti bekle” buyurdu.
