Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have been sent and the Hour (is at hand) as these two," showing his two fingers and sticking (separating) them out.  

البخاري:٦٥٠٣حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةَ هَكَذَا وَيُشِيرُ بِإِصْبَعَيْهِ فَيَمُدُّ بِهِمَا
