In the Middle Ages, weekly markets and fairs were the main way in which medieval people bought and sold goods. Farmers and craftsmen from the countryside would take their goods into the towns to sell at the markets.
Shop keepers in the towns had to shut their own shops on market days and sell from the stalls. Villagers from outside the towns would go to the markets and fairs to buy goods that could not get locally. Once or twice a year huge fairs were held in the bigger towns. [1]
It was in this context the Prophet Muhammad ο·Ί predicted that the hour will not occur until βthe markets come close togetherβ. [2]
Throughout history, markets have indeed come closer and closer together.
For example, shopping malls now mean all stores are literally in the same building.
Furthermore, with the invention of cars we are able to quickly travel to any shop that would otherwise have been too far away.
Finally, with the advent of the internet, every shop is literally now a fingertip away. Even formal international trade agreements can now be conducted remotely.
The markets literally could not be any closer to each other - just as the Prophet ο·Ί predicted.
