Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Near the establishment of the Hour, there will be the days of Al-Harj, and the
religious knowledge will be taken away (vanish i.e. by the death of Religious scholars) and general
ignorance will spread.” Abu Musa said, “Al-Harj, in the Ethiopian language, means killing.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There will be afflictions (in the near future) during which a sitting person will
be better than a standing one, and the standing one will be better than a walking one, and the walking
one will be better than a running one, and whoever will expose himself to these afflictions, they will
destroy him. So whoever can find a place of protection or refuge from them, should take shelter in it.”

Ibn Mas`ud added: I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who
will be living at the time when the Hour will be established.”

Narrated Al-Hasan: (Al-Ahnaf said:) I went out carrying my arms during the nights of the affliction (i.e. the war between
`Ali and `Aisha) and Abu Bakra met me and asked, “Where are you going?” I replied, “I intend to help
the cousin of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (i.e.,`Ali).” Abu Bakra said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘If two Muslims take
out their swords to fight each other, then both of them will be from amongst the people of the Hell-
Fire.’ It was said to the Prophet, ‘It is alright for the killer but what about the killed one?’ He replied,
‘The killed one had the intention to kill his opponent.’” (See Hadith No. 30, Vol. 1) Narrated Al-Ahnaf: Abu Bakra said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said (as above, 204).

Narrated Az-Zubair bin `Adi: We went to Anas bin Malik and complained about the wrong we were suffering at the hand of Al-
Hajjaj. Anas bin Malik said, “Be patient till you meet your Lord, for no time will come upon you but
the time following it will be worse than it. I heard that from the Prophet.”

Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman: The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I
should be overtaken by them. So I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We were living in ignorance and in an
(extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil
after this good?” He said, “Yes.” I said, ‘Will there be any good after that evil?” He replied, “Yes, but
it will be tainted (not pure.)” I asked, “What will be its taint?” He replied, “(There will be) some
people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds
and disapprove of some others.” I asked, “Will there be any evil after that good?” He replied, “Yes,
(there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their
call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire.” I said, “O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them
to us?” He said, “They will be from our own people and will speak our language.” I said, “What do
you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?” He said, “Stick to the group of
Muslims and their Imam (ruler).” I said, “If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?”
He said, “Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death
overtakes you while you are in that state.”

Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) woke up one night in a state of terror and said, “Subhan
Allah, How many treasures Allah has sent down! And how many afflictions have been sent down!
Who will go and wake the lady dwellers (wives of the Prophet) up of these rooms (for prayers)?” He
meant his wives, so that they might pray. He added, “A well-dressed (soul) in this world may be naked
in the Hereafter.”

Narrated Abu Al-Aswad: An army unit was being recruited from the people of Medina and my name was written among them.
Then I met `Ikrima, and when I informed him about it, he discouraged me very strongly and said, “Ibn
`Abbas told me that there were some Muslims who were with the pagans to increase their number
against Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (and the Muslim army) so arrows (from the Muslim army) would hit one of
them and kill him or a Muslim would strike him (with his sword) and kill him. So Allah revealed:–
‘Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (by staying
among the disbelievers).’ (4.97)

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us.”

Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever takes up arms against us, is not from us.”
