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: (Near the Day of Judgment) time will become short, miserliness will become widespread, tribulations will become common, and Harj will become widespread. The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the last mentioned? He said: Killing, killing.
