Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last times there will soon come people whose faces will be like the faces of human beings and whose hearts will be like the hearts of devils. They will be like ravenous wolves; there will be no mercy in their hearts. They will shed much blood and will not refrain from anything vile. If you follow them, they will put you behind them, and if you hide from them, they will backbite you. If they speak to you, they will lie to you; if you entrust them, they will betray you. Their children will be wicked, their young men cunning, and their old men will not enjoin good nor forbid evil. Seeking honour through them will in reality be humiliation, and trying to obtain what (wealth and the like) they possess will be poverty. The forbearing person among them will be misguided, the one who enjoins good among them will be accused, the believer among them will be weak, and the sinner among them will hold a prominent position. Among them the Sunnah will be innovation, and innovation will be Sunnah. At that time Allah Almighty will set over them the worst of them; then their righteous will supplicate, but it will not be answered."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Muhammad bin Mu'awiyah al-Naysaburi, and he is matruk (abandoned).
