Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Hour will not be established until there occurs among my Ummah the swallowing up of the earth, transformation of forms, and the raining of stones (as punishment)."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until people boast to one another regarding (the construction of) mosques."

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last era, there will be some people who will engage in worldly conversation in the mosques; they will have no connection with Allah Almighty."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Taqi is Abu Taqi Kabir, whose name is Abdul Hameed bin Ibrahim; he is from Homs. Whereas Abu Taqi Saghir's name is Hisham bin Abdul Malik Yazni, and both these narrators are from Homs. Both are trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us two things; I have seen one of them and I am waiting for the other. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that trustworthiness was sent down into the hearts of people, and the Qur'an was revealed, so they learned knowledge from the Qur'an and learned knowledge from the Sunnah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told us about its removal. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A man will sleep, and trustworthiness will be taken away from his heart, until only a faint trace remains, like a mark left by a spot. Then he will sleep again, and trustworthiness will be taken away from his heart, until only a trace remains like a blister that appears on your foot due to a burning coal—you see it swollen, but there is nothing inside it. People will engage in buying and selling with one another, but hardly anyone will fulfill trust, to the extent that it will be said: There is an honest man among the tribe of so-and-so. To the extent that it will be said about a man: How strong, how clever, how wise he is, even though there will not be in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of goodness.

(Sayyiduna Hudhayfah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) A time came upon me when I did not care with whom I did business, for if he was a believer, his religion would prevent him from cheating me, and if he was a Jew or a Christian, the official would prevent him (from doing so). But now, I only do business with so-and-so and so-and-so.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard his son saying: "O Allah, I ask You for a palace on the right side of Paradise." So Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O my son, when you ask, then ask Allah for Paradise and seek His protection from Hell, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "In the last times, there will come people who will exceed the limits in supplication and in attaining purity."

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard one of his sons saying in supplication: "O Allah! I ask You that when I enter Paradise, I am granted a white palace on the right side of Paradise." So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O my son, ask Allah for Paradise and seek His protection from Hellfire. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: 'Soon there will come people in this Ummah who will exceed the limits in supplication and in purification.'"
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This narration has been heard by Jariri from Yazid bin Abdullah and from Abu Na’ama, so both these chains are preserved.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul! Surely, a day will come upon one of you when he will not see me, although at that time, visiting me will be more beloved to him than his family and wealth."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "In the last era, there will be some people who will belong to my Ummah; they will tell you things which neither you nor your forefathers have heard. So be cautious and beware of them."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until you people engage in intercourse on the road just as a donkey does." (The narrator states) I asked: Will this really happen? He replied: Yes, it will certainly happen.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that one day he said: "Shall I not narrate to you a hadith such that after me no one will narrate it to you? I heard it from the tongue of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. I heard the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'The Hour will not be established (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) and among the signs of the Hour is that knowledge will be taken away, ignorance will become widespread, wine will be drunk, adultery will become common, and men will decrease while women will increase, to the extent that one man will be the guardian of fifty women.'"
