وَقَالَ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنِ الأَشْعَرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَعْلَمُ الأَيَّامَ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيَّامَ الْهَرْجِ. نَحْوَهُ. قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مِنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ مَنْ تُدْرِكُهُمُ السَّاعَةُ وَهُمْ أَحْيَاءٌ ".
Ibn Mas'ud Narrated from:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who will be living at the time when the Hour will be established."

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 7067
This Hadith about the worst people at the Hour adds another warning after mention of the days of Al-Harj. Ibn Masud reports that he heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم say that among the worst people will be those who are alive when the Hour is established. The Hadith does not give a long list of their actions in the provided text. It simply describes their state with very serious words. Because of that, the explanation should remain careful and not add details not mentioned here. The message is to fear being counted among people far from Allah at the end. It also reminds the believer that the Hour is not only a future event to discuss, but a reason to live with faith and obedience now.

- The Hadith describes some people alive at the Hour as among the worst.
- The text gives a serious warning without listing extra details.
- A Muslim should not treat the Hour as only a topic of debate.
