Bismillaah:

Abu Hurairah رضي اللّه عنهم said:

The Messenger of Allaah صلي الله عليه وسلم said:

“The Hour will not begin until time passes quickly, so a year will be like a month, and a month will be like a week, and a week will be like a day, and a day will be like an hour, and an hour will be like the burning of a braid of palm leaves.”

Takhreej:

{ Imam Ahmad in his Musnad and graded as Saheeh by Shaykh Al Albaani, Al Hafiz Ibn Katheer said Its isnad is saheeh according to the conditions of Muslim }

Imam Al Nawaawi رحمه الله commented:

what is meant by its becoming short is that there will be no blessing [ barakah ] in it, and that the benefit that a person gets from one day, for example, will be the equivalent of the benefit that he used to get in a single hour.

{ Al Minhaaj sharh Muslim }

Imam Ibn Hajr رحمه الله commented:

The fact of the matter is that what it means is that blessings will disappear from everything, even from time. That is one of the signs that the Hour is at hand.
The metaphorical meaning also includes ease and speed of travel between distant places, so that it may be regarded as time passing more quickly. Distances that took months to cross in the past do not take more than a number of hours nowadays

{ Fath ul Bari Sharh Saheeh al Bukhari }

Imam As Suyooti رحمه الله commented:

It was said that this is in fact literal, and that the hours of day and night will grow shorter when the onset of the Hour is at hand. And it was said that it is metaphorical, and that what is meant is that days will pass quickly and the blessings will be removed from all things, even from time…. And there are other opinions as well.

{ Al Haawi li’l Fataawi 1/44 }

*** And Allaah عزوجل knows best ***
