It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The Hour will not be established until Luka' bin Luka' (a base and ignorant person) prevails over the world; and in those conditions the best of people will be a believer who is between two noble people."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated it from Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) except Uqayl (may Allah have mercy on him), and no one from Uqayl (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ibn Lahi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him), with Abdullah bin Yusuf (may Allah have mercy on him) alone in narrating it; and this hadith is not narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) except by this route."
