Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنِي هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ 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

Muhammad ibn Sinan narrated to us. He said: Fulayh narrated to us. And Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to me. He said: Muhammad ibn Fulayh narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to me. He said: Hilal ibn Ali narrated to me, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Abu Hurayra, who said: While the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a gathering, speaking to the people, a Bedouin came to him and said: ‘When is the Hour?’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) continued speaking. Some people said: ‘He heard what he said and disliked it.’ Others said: ‘Rather, he did not hear him.’ When he finished speaking, he said: ‘Where is—I think he said—the questioner about the Hour?’ The man said: ‘Here I am, Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘When trust is squandered, expect the Hour.’ The man asked: ‘How is it squandered?’ He said: ‘When a matter is entrusted to someone unfit for it, expect the Hour.’
