2214. Anas narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Hour and I were dispatched like these two" – and Abū Dāwūd (a narrator) indicated with his index and middle fingers – so, how much more (in length) is one then the other. (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
٢٢١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ،» وَأَشَارَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى فَمَا فَضْلُ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

There is a marginal difference of length between the index and middle fingers of the hand, the middle finger being a shred longer than its companion. The idea is to convey the message to the Ummah that there is not much time left between myself and the occurrence of the Hour. Let everybody, therefore, prepare for the Hour, especially because there are is no prophet to come after him ﷺ.
