And those who disbelieve say ‘The Hour the Resurrection will never come to us’. Say to them ‘Yes indeed by my Lord it shall come to you — by the Knower of the Unseen read ‘ālimi’l-ghaybi as an adjectival qualification of wa-rabbī ‘by my Lord’ or read ‘ālimu’l-ghaybi as the predicate of a missing subject such as huwa ‘He is’; or read ‘allāmi’l-ghaybi.

"The Hour (Resurrection) will not occur until 'Allah, Allah' is not said on earth."
I heard a person saying to 'Abdullah b. Amr: You say that the Last Hour would come at such and such time, whereupon he said: I had made up my mind that I would not narrate anything to you. I only said: But you would soon see after some time a very significant affair, for example the burning of the House (Ka'ba). Shu'ba said like this and 'Abdullah b Amr reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: The Dajjal would appear in my Ummah. And in another hadith (the words are): None would survive who would have even a speck of faith in his heart, but he would be dead. Muhammad b. Ja'far reported that Shu'ba narrated to him this hadith many a time and I also read it out to him many a time.
