It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked my Lord for three things; Allah Almighty granted me two of them and did not grant me one. I asked that no foreign nation be imposed upon my Ummah as an enemy, and Allah granted me this. My second request was that they not be destroyed by famine, and Allah granted me this as well. My third supplication was that they be saved from discord among themselves, but Allah did not accept this supplication."

Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib رضي الله عنه narrates from the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم that he صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "A time will come upon people when whoever does not possess gold or silver, his life will not be pleasant."

Sayyiduna Maymun bin Sanbaz (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A time will come upon my Ummah when their leaders and those in charge of their government will be evil people."

Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Al-Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“You say that I will be the last of you to die, but I will die before you. You will follow many groups, and you will strike each other’s necks.”

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: During the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the sinking of the earth towards the east was mentioned, so some people said: Will the land in which Muslims live also sink? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! When the majority there becomes involved in sin and immorality."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Some people from this Ummah will spend the night in eating, drinking, and amusement. When morning comes, their faces will be like those of monkeys and pigs."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Those who remained healthy in the world will wish on the Day of Resurrection that their flesh had been cut with scissors, because they will see the immense reward given to those who suffered afflictions in the world."

Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Muhammad! When you see people fighting over the world, then take your sword and strike it on a strong stone of the Haram so that it breaks, then sit in your house until either the hand of a wrongdoer reaches you, or decisive death comes to you." So I did exactly what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had commanded me.

Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not turn into disbelievers after me by striking the necks of one another."

Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O Ka’b! After me there will be rulers.”Then he (peace be upon him) described them as oppressors and said:“Whoever goes to them, affirms their lies, and assists them in their wrongdoing, he is not from me and I am not from him. And he will not be able to come to my Pond. And whoever does not go to them, does not affirm their lies, and does not assist them in their wrongdoing, then he is from me and I am from him, and he will come to my Pond. The rightful place for the flesh nourished by the unlawful is Hell; it will not enter Paradise.”
