Sa’d bin Ibrahim narrates that he heard from his father, who said: I saw Abdur Rahman bin Auf in the month of May 8, in such a state that his head was shaved and he was weeping, saying: I do not fear that I will remain alive until the martyrdom of Hazrat Uthman.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr: We have seen in the Book of Allah, the Lord of Might, two types of people in the Fire. One is a people who will be in the last era; they will have whips like the tails of cows, with which they will beat people without any crime. They will only put wicked things (such as bribes, etc.) into their bellies. The second type is those women who do not wear clothes, are naked, are inclined (towards men) and make others inclined (towards themselves). They will not enter Paradise, nor will they smell the fragrance of Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abbas that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will be such rulers among you whom you will recognize and upon whom you will object. Whoever fights against them will attain salvation, and whoever joins them will be destroyed.

It is narrated from Nu'man bin Bashir that when it was suggested to send police officers to remove corruption from the land, Ka'b al-Ahbar said: "Wait, do not do this, because it is in the Book of Allah that there will be a people called 'Amlah' (police and the like). In their hands will be whips like the tails of cows; they will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise. So do not be the first to send them." Nu'man says they did exactly that. The narrator says: I asked Yahya, "Who are the 'Amlah'?" He replied, "In Iraq, you call them 'Shurti' (policeman)."

40546 - He said: (So he did) (1), so I said to Yahya: What is "al-amalah"? He said: You (call them) (2) in Iraq "al-shurta" (the police/guards).

It is narrated from Khalifa bin Saad that I saw Hazrat Uthman walking on one of the streets of Madinah, and he was saying: "Continue to enjoin good and forbid evil before your wicked people are set over you. Then your best people will pray against them, but their prayers will not be accepted. Then hardship will weigh heavily upon them, and they will be seized by their arms." Then he said: "I will not die until I am overtaken by the leadership of young boys."

It is narrated from Shaddad bin Abi Ammar that Awf bin Malik said, "O plague, take me towards yourself as well." People said, "Did you not hear the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that the longer a Muslim lives, the more it is a source of goodness for him?" He replied, "Why not, but I fear six things: the leadership of fools, the selling of judgments, the shedding of blood, severing of kinship ties, the abundance of police, and such an incident that people make the Qur'an like a flute."

It is narrated from Umar bin Khattab that he said: Leave those flat-faced people who have left you. By Allah, I wish there were such a sea between us and them that could not be crossed.

It is narrated from Abdul Malik ibn Abi Sulaiman, he says: I asked Abu Ja'far, "Will there be disbelief (kufr) in this ummah?" He replied, "I do not think there will be disbelief or polytheism (shirk)." So I asked, "Then what will there be?" He said, "Rebellion."

It is narrated from Abu Huraira who says: A tribulation will arise from which nothing will grant salvation except supplication, like the supplication of a drowning person.
