Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7228 — he said, speaking on the pulpit of Basrah
حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ، عَنْ إِيَادِ بْنِ لَقِيطٍ ، عَنْ قَرَظَةَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُوسَى فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ ، يَقُولُ : سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ السَّاعَةِ وَأَنَا شَاهِدٌ ، فَقَالَ : لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللهُ ، لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ ، وَلَكِنْ سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِمَشَارِيطِهَا ، وَمَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهَا ، إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا رَدْمًا مِنَ الْفِتَنِ ، وَهَرْجًا « فَقِيلَ : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ » قَالَ : « هُوَ بِلِسَانِ الْحَبَشَةِ : الْقَتْلُ ، وَأَنْ تَخِفَّ قُلُوبُ النَّاسِ ، وَأَنْ يُلْقَى بَيْنَهُمُ التَّنَاكُرُ ، فَلَا يَكَادُ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ أَحَدًا ، وَيُرْفَعُ ذَوُو الْحِجَى ، وَتَبْقَى رِجْرِجَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا تَعْرِفُ مَعْرُوفًا ، وَلَا تُنْكِرُ مُنْكَرًا » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, speaking on the pulpit of Basrah on a Friday: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the Hour, and I was present there. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one knows of it except Allah; none will reveal it at its time except Him. However, I will tell you of its signs and of the events that will come before it: before the Hour there will be a barrier (a chain) of tribulations, and there will be 'harj'." It was said: O Messenger of Allah! What is 'harj'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the Abyssinian language it means 'killing'. And (at that time) the hearts of the people will become light (empty of faith and steadfastness), mutual strangeness and estrangement will be cast among them, so that hardly anyone will recognise anyone else; the people of reason and wisdom will be taken away, and there will remain the dregs and refuse of the people who will neither regard any good as good nor reject any evil."
