Fath al-Rabbani

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen those days when a person used to give more importance to his Muslim brother than to a wealthy and rich man, but now I see that dinars and dirhams are dearer to us than our Muslim brother. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If you abandon jihad, become occupied with the tails of cows, and start engaging in ‘inah transactions, Allah Almighty will impose humiliation upon you, and that humiliation will not be removed from you until you repent to Allah Almighty and return to your original religion. And I also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Migration will continue towards the place of migration of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him), until only the worst people remain on the rest of the earth. Their land will expel them, Allah Almighty’s spirit will abhor them, and the fire will gather them together with monkeys and pigs, surrounding them in one place, where they will take their midday rest, and the fire will rest there as well; where they spend the night, the fire will also spend the night there, and whoever among them falls, the fire will burn him. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: In my Ummah, there will arise a people of evil deeds, who will recite the Qur’an, but it will not go beyond their throats. (Apparently, their deeds will be so good that) you will consider your own deeds insignificant compared to theirs. They will kill the people of Islam. When such people appear, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them; and when they appear again, kill them. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them and also for the one who is killed by them. When their generation appears, Allah Almighty will destroy it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this twenty or more times, and I kept listening.
