It is narrated from Kurayb (the freed slave of Ibn Abbas) that he was sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas and Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them) among a group of people, when Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) came in and said: "Die, all of you!" At this Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Abu Hurayrah! (What are you saying?) The religion is established, jihad continues, and the prayer, zakah, Hajj and the fasting of Ramadan are (all) present. Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (What I mean is) that you should die before that time comes when the doer of good will be unable to increase his good, and the wrongdoer will be unable to turn back from his wrongdoing (that is, conditions will become so corrupted by the abundance of tribulations).
