Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40167 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Asid bin al-Mutashammis that he said: We were with Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "Shall I not narrate to you a hadith that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to narrate to us?" We said: "Certainly." The narrator related that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established until harj becomes abundant." We said: "What is harj?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Killing, killing." We said: "We already kill now." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It will not be your killing of the disbelievers; rather, a person will kill his neighbour, his brother and the son of his paternal uncle." The narrator said: We were struck speechless, so that not a tooth of any of us could be seen. We said: "Will we have our reason and understanding on that day?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The reason of most people of that time will be taken away, and after them foolish people will succeed them, most of whom will think that they are on something (of religion), while they will not be on anything. By the One in whose hand is my soul, I fear that certain matters will overtake me and you, and if those matters overtake us, there will be no way out of them for me and you, except just as we entered." (The meaning is that we will not remain safe in these tribulations except in the way that we were safe on the day we entered Islam.)
