Hadith 5330
وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ أَقْوَامٌ إِخْوَانُ الْعَلَانِيَةِ أَعْدَاءُ السَّرِيرَةِ» . فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: «ذَلِكَ بِرَغْبَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَرَهْبَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ من بعض»
It is narrated from Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last era, there will be some people who will be friends outwardly but enemies inwardly." It was asked: O Messenger of Allah! How will this be? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This will be due to mutual desire (i.e., for benefit) and mutual fear (i.e., of harm)." Its chain is weak, narrated by Ahmad.
