What is the ruling on thinking about the time of the Hour?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to believe that the Hour will not occur in the near future, taking this from this hadith? He says: Because today, there are still people who say this phrase: Allah.

Answer:
People may change and forget Allah (Mighty and Majestic); they may change in an instant. The hearts of the servants are between two fingers of the Most Merciful. So, one does not know the occurrence of the Hour; no one knows it except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
It will not come upon you except unexpectedlyلَا تَأْتِيكُمْ إِلَّا بَغْتَةً
[Al-A'raf 7:187]
Yes, so no one speaks of the time of the Hour; this is not permissible.
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and Jibril in this hadith: when he asked, "Inform me about the Hour," he said, "The one asked about it is no more knowledgeable than the one asking. We are all equal in our ignorance of it." Yes, the master of the angels and the master of the children of Adam, none of them knows when the Hour will occur, but they believe in it and prepare for it. Yes.
