Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, (these things) are among the signs of the Hour: knowledge will be taken away, ignorance will remain, wine will be drunk in abundance, and adultery will be committed openly."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: (Today) I will narrate to you a hadith such that after me (perhaps) no one will narrate it to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Among the signs of the Hour is that knowledge will decrease and ignorance will prevail, and adultery will become widespread, and women will increase in number while men will decrease, to the extent that for fifty women there will be only one man to look after (support) them."
