Aswad bin Yazid says: The iqamah was called for prayer in the mosque, and we set out towards the mosque with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The people were in the state of bowing (ruku‘), so Sayyiduna Abdullah performed ruku‘ (before reaching the row), and we also bent for ruku‘ and, while in the state of ruku‘, walked and stood in the row. A man passed in front of Sayyiduna Abdullah and said: Abu Abdur-Rahman! As-salamu ‘alaykum. Sayyiduna Abdullah, while in the state of ruku‘, said: Allah and His Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) have spoken the truth. When they finished the prayer, some people asked: When that man greeted you with salam, why did you say: Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth? He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say:“This too is among the signs of the Hour, that salam will be given only on the basis of acquaintance.”And in another narration:“A man will greet another with salam, but will do so only on the basis of acquaintance.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Taghlib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is among the signs of the Hour: wealth will become widespread, ignorance will become common, tribulations will emerge, trade will become widespread, and knowledge (that is, reading and writing) will become common."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umayyah Jumahi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "This is among the signs of the Hour, that knowledge will be sought from insignificant and lowly people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "This too is among the signs of the Hour, that a man will pass by the mosque without performing two rak'ahs of prayer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Foul language, obscene speech, severing of ties of kinship, considering the treacherous as trustworthy and the trustworthy as treacherous are among the signs of the Hour."

The wife of Qa’qa’ bin Abu Hadard Aslami narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying from the pulpit:“O people! When you hear about the earth swallowing up someone nearby, (it will mean as if) the Hour has already cast its shadow.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Before the Hour, (people's) forms will be distorted, they will be swallowed up, and stones will be hurled upon them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Before the Day of Judgment, tribulations will appear like pieces of a dark night; a man will be a believer in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, and a believer in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. People will sell their religion for worldly goods."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The signs of the Hour are six: my passing away, the conquest of Bayt al-Maqdis, death that will seize people like the disease that seizes the chest of sheep, the emergence of a tribulation that will affect every Muslim household, a man considering a thousand dinars as insignificant (i.e., regarding it as little), and the betrayal of the Romans; they will march under eighty banners, and under each banner there will be twelve thousand men."
