It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As that he said: Among the signs of the Day of Judgment is that speech will become widespread and actions will change; evil people will be elevated and good people will be brought down, and al-Mathani will be recited over them, and none among them will find fault with it. The narrator said: I asked, "What is al-Mathani?" He replied: Every book other than the Book of Allah (i.e., the Holy Qur'an).
