It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad ((peace and blessings be upon him))! The Hour will not be established until indecency and miserliness become widespread, the trustworthy is considered treacherous and the treacherous is entrusted, the 'wu'ul' perish and the 'tuhut' become prominent." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by 'wu'ul' and 'tuhut'?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wu'ul are the honourable people and the leaders among the people, and the tuhut are those who used to be under people's feet (that is, obscure and lowly), of whom no one knew anything."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This hadith is narrated from Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) only with this chain, and Ibn Abi Uways is alone in narrating it."
