The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) mentioned to us that his mission was a sign of the imminence of the Hour/
the end of the world and that it is the
first of the minor signs of it.
Sahl ibn Saad narrated,
"I saw the Messenger (peace be
upon him) gesturing with his
two fingers like this, the middle finger and the one that is next to the
thumb,[Saying],
" I have been sent when the Hour is like these two''
and he (peace be upon him) said, "I have been sent at the beginning
of the Hour''.
(Narrated by al-haakim in Al-Kuna, Al Albaani said it as Saheeh (Al-silsilah al-saheehah, hadeeth no 808)
Al Qurtubi said,"The first of the signs was the Prophet s.a.w because he was the prophet to the end of time; he has been sent and there will be no other Prophet between him and the Day of Resurrection".
(Al qurtubi: Al-Tadhkirah, 1/710)
