It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The world will not come to an end until it comes into the possession of a contemptible person. Isma'il bin 'Umar and Ibn Bukair said: Until it comes into the possession of a contemptible son of a contemptible person. The narrator Aswad explained its meaning as: by this is meant an evil person who is the son of an evil person.
