The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not intend the Greater Hour (the Day of Judgment) with this saying, but rather the hour of those being addressed, meaning their death, which leads them to the realm of the barzakh (interim period between death and resurrection). This is because whoever dies has entered into the state of قيامة (resurrection/judgment). Hisham ibn Urwah explained this meaning, and it was supported by Ibn Kathir, Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, and al-Nawawi. The term "Hour" also refers to the end of a century and the occurrence of evils and tribulations.
