Question:
I have a difficulty regarding his statement that he feared the Hour, given that there are signs of it that have not yet come. How do we reconcile these two things? And is it possible for the Hour to come before the signs that He informs us of?
Answer:
Allah knows best about that. Allah is capable of everything. The command of the Hour is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); He will reveal it at its appointed time whenever He wills.
