Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 6259 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Soon

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ، عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : سَيَجِيءُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ أَقْوَامٌ ، تَكُونُ وُجُوهُهُمْ وُجُوهَ الْآدَمِيِّينَ ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ، أَمْثَالُ الذِّئَابِ الضَّوَارِي ، لَيْسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ ، سَفَّاكُونَ لِلدِّمَاءِ ، لَا يَزَعُونَ قَبِيحًا ، إِنْ تَابَعْتَهُمْ وَارَبُوكَ ، وَإِنْ تَوَارَيْتَ عَنْهُمُ اغْتَابُوكَ ، وَإِنْ حَدَّثُوكَ كَذَبُوكَ ، وَإِنْ أَمِنْتَهُمْ خَانُوكَ ، صَبِيُّهُمْ عَارِمٌ ، وَشَابُّهُمْ شَاطِرٌ ، وَشَيْخُهُمْ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ ، وَلَا يَنْهَى عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ ، الِاعْتِزَازُ بِهِمْ ذُلٌّ ، وَطَلَبُ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ فَقْرٌ ، الْحَلِيمُ فِيهِمْ غَاوٍ ، وَالْآمِرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فِيهِمْ مُتَّهَمٌ ، الْمُؤْمِنُ فِيهِمْ مُسْتَضْعَفٌ ، وَالْفَاسِقُ فِيهِمْ مُشَرَّفٌ ، السُّنَّةُ فِيهِمْ بِدْعَةٌ ، وَالْبِدْعَةُ فِيهِمْ سُنَّةٌ ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يُسَلِّطُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ شِرَارَهُمْ ، وَيَدْعُو أَخْيَارَهُمْ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ .
I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ خُصَيْفٍ إِلَّا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، وَلَا يُرْوَى عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon, at the end of time, there will come peoples whose faces will be the faces of human beings but whose hearts will be the hearts of devils. They will be like ravenous wolves; there will be no trace of mercy in their hearts; they will shed much blood and will not refrain from any vile deed. If you follow them, they will deceive you; if you are absent from them, they will backbite you; if they speak to you, they will lie to you; and if you trust them, they will betray you. Their child will be mischievous, their youth will be cunning, and their elder will neither enjoin good nor forbid evil. Seeking honour through them is humiliation, and seeking what is in their hands is poverty. Among them the forbearing person will be considered misguided, the one who enjoins good will be held suspect in their eyes, the believer will be regarded as helpless and weak among them, while the sinner will be honoured among them. Among them the Sunnah will become innovation and innovation will be considered Sunnah. At that time Allah Almighty will set the worst of them over them; then their best will supplicate, but their supplication will not be answered."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Khusayf (may Allah have mercy on him) except Muhammad bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him); Muhammad bin Mu'awiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it, and it is not narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) except with this chain."
