Alqamah Muzani (may Allah have mercy on him) says: A man narrated to me, saying: I was in the gathering of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah Munawwarah, and he said to a person: "O so-and-so! What did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say when he was describing the state of Islam?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Indeed, the beginning of Islam was like a young camel entering its fifth year, then it will become strong like a camel entering its sixth year, then it will become powerful like a camel entering its seventh year, then it will gain strength like a camel entering its eighth year, and then like a camel entering its ninth year." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "After the ninth year of a camel's age, weakness begins."

Sayyiduna Karz bin Alqamah Khuza’i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a Bedouin said:“O Messenger of Allah! Is there any end to Islam?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Yes, when Allah intends good and well-being for the people of any house among the Arabs and non-Arabs, He will cause Islam to enter them.”He said:“O Messenger of Allah! Then what will happen?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then tribulations will appear like shadows (i.e., like mountains and clouds).”He said:“Never! By Allah, if Allah wills, it will never be so.”But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Why not, by Him in Whose hand is my soul! You will pounce upon each other’s necks like the most wicked, great serpent.”

(Second chain) Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, recited these words to Imam Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him: «أَسَاوِدَ صُبًّا» , and Imam Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "A large and black snake that rises up."

(Third chain) There is a similar narration, however, these words are additional: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "At that time, the most virtuous person among the people will be that believer who withdraws to a mountain pass, fears his Lord, and keeps the people safe from his own evil."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The links of Islam, that is, the commandments of Islam, will be undone one by one. When one link falls, people will pursue the next link. The first commandment to be broken will be justice, and the last to be demolished will be prayer (salah)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Firoz Dailami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The links of Islam, that is, its commandments, will be undone one by one, just as a rope is broken thread by thread."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: "It has been quite a while since I heard something: When you are among twenty people, or less or more, and then you look closely at their faces, if you do not find even a single face among them that is revered and honored for the sake of Allah Almighty, then know that faith has weakened."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us two hadiths; I have seen the fulfillment of one and I am waiting for the other. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that "Trust (Amanah) was originally instilled in the hearts of people, then the Qur'an was revealed, and people learned the Qur'an and the Sunnah." Then, while informing us about the removal of this trust, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man will sleep and the trust will be withdrawn from his heart, and only a faint mark or spot will remain. Then, when the remaining trust is also taken away from his heart, only a blister or swelling will remain, just like when you roll a burning coal on your foot and then see the mark of swelling as a result, even though there is nothing inside it." Then, to clarify, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rolled a pebble on his foot, then said: "Then people will engage in buying and selling, but not a single one will fulfill the trust, to the extent that people will say: There is an honest man among the sons of so-and-so, (but even this testimony will be such that) people, while praising a man, will say: How strong and independent he is, how clever and skillful he is, how intelligent he is, while there will not be faith in his heart even equal to a mustard seed." Then Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There was a time when I did not care whom I did business with; if he was a Muslim, his religion would compel him to return my trust, and if he was a Christian or a Jew, the one collecting the jizya would return my right. But in this time, I will only do business with so-and-so and so-and-so."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“After thirty-five or thirty-six or thirty-seven years, the mill of Islam will turn. After that, if they (remain misguided and) are destroyed, they will be like those who were destroyed before, and if their religion remains established for them, it will remain established for seventy years.”I said, and according to one narration, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“O Prophet of Allah! Including the past or a continuous seventy years?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“A continuous seventy years.”

(Second chain) There is a similar hadith, except that in it: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is the past continuous or is the continuous for such a long period?"
