‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏رَوْحٌ ‏ ‏أَخْبَرَنَا ‏ ‏سَعِيدٌ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏قَتَادَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏ ‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏كَانَ يَرْفَعُ أُصْبُعَيْهِ الْوُسْطَى وَالَّتِي ‏ ‏تَلِيهَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ‏ ‏إِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَاتَيْنِ فَمَا فَضَّلَ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى ‏

English Translation

Rawh narrated to us, Sa'id informed us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his middle finger and the one next to it, then say: 'I have been sent and the Hour are like these two,' — and he would indicate the closeness between them.
