And the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes abundant among you, to the extent that a wealthy man will be anxious to find someone who will accept his charity. And the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon knowledge will be taken away, time will become short, tribulations will appear, and killing will increase. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by killing? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Killing. Killing.
