A fatwa translated into English in which Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed answers the following question, "I was reading the signs of Last Hour in the below Islamic website. I came across a Hadith given on the website which is as follows: Some hadiths report that the Prophet was asked about the Hour. He looked toward a young boy and said, 'If he lives, he will not grow very old before he sees your Last Hour coming to you." By this, he meant their death and entering the Hereafter because everyone who dies enters the Hereafter. Some people say that when a person has died, his judgment has begun. This Hadith with this meaning is "correct." Does that Hadith mean that the Last Hour will begin before the young boy turns old? Please advise if the above interpretation of Hadith as mentioned on the website is right or not. I am quite confused so kindly elaborate on the true meaning of this Hadith."
