Mukhtasar Sahih Al-Bukhariعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ (ﷺ) فِي مَجْلِسٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ، جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ : مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ . فَمَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ﷺ) يُحَدِّثُ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ : سَمِعَ مَا قَالَ فَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ : أَيْنَ - أَرَاهُ - السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ). فَقَالَ : هَا أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، قَالَ : (فَإِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ). فَقَالَ : كَيْفَ إِضَاعَتُهَا؟ قَالَ : (إِذَا وُسدَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِر السَّاعَةَ).
Narrated Abu Huraira
While the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying something in a gathering, a bedouin came and asked him, When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) continued his talk, so some people said that Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) had heard the question, but did not like what that bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) had not heard it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour (Doomsday)? The bedouin said, "I am here, O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) ". Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When Al-Amânah [i.e. the trust (or moral responsibility or honesty) and all the duties which Allâh has ordained] is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.) " [1:56-O.B.]

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the Salât (prayer) which was overdue.

While we were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: " Who amongst you is Muḥammad?" At that time the Prophet (ﷺ) was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, "This white man reclining on his arm." The man then addressed him, "O son of ' Abdul Muttalib." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am here to answer your questions ". The man said to the Prophet (ﷺ) " I want to ask you something and will be hard in questioning. So do not get angry." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Ask whatever you want." The man said, I ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who were before you, has Allâh sent you as a Messenger (ﷺ) to all the mankind?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Allâh, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allâh. Has Allah ordered you to offer five (prayers) in a day and night (24 hours).? He replied, "By Allâh, yes. The man further said, "I ask you by Allah ! Has Allâh ordered you to observe Şaum (fasts) during this month of the year (i.e. Ramaḍân)?" He replied, "By Allâh, yes." The man further said, "I ask you by Allâh. Has Allah ordered you to take Zakât from our rich people and distribute it amongst our poor people? The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "By Allâh, yes ". Thereupon that man said, "I believe in all that with which you have been sent, and I have been sent by my people as a Messenger (ﷺ), and I am Dimâm bin Tha‘laba from the brothers of Bani Sa'd bin Bakr."

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) wrote a letter or had an idea of writing a letter. The Prophet (ﷺ) was told that they (rulers) would not read letters unless they were sealed.

Narrated Wâqid Al-Laithî
While Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men came. Two of them came in front of Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) and the third one went away. The narrator added: The two persons kept on standing before Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) (for a while) and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there while the other sat behind them (the gathering), and the third one went away. When Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) finished his preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you about these three persons? One of them betook himself to Allâh, so Allâh took him into His Grace and Mercy and accommodated him, the second felt shy from Allâh, so Allâh sheltered Him in His Mercy (and did not punish him), while the third turned his face from Allâh and went away so Allâh turned His Face from him (likewise) ".
