Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7255 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Before the Hour there will
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَزْمٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : « إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ الْهَرْجَ » ، قَالُوا : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ : « الْقَتْلُ » ، قَالُوا : أَوَمَا يَكْفِي مَا نَقْتُلُ كُلَّ عَامٍ مِائَةَ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ؟ قَالَ : « لَيْسَ ذَاكَ ، وَلَكِنْ قَتْلُ أَنْفُسِكُمْ » ، قَالُوا : وَمَعَنَا عُقُولُنَا ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّهُ يَخْتَلِسُ عُقُولَ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ ، وَسَيُؤَخَّرُ لَهَا هَبَاءٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى : مَا أُرَاهَا إِلَّا مُدْرِكَتِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ ، فَمَا أَعْلَمُ الْمَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا فِيمَا عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا إِلَّا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا كَيَوْمَ دَخَلْنَا فِيهَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Before the Hour there will be much 'harj'." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is meant by 'harj'? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Killing and slaughter." They said: Is the killing not enough that we do of about a hundred thousand polytheists every year? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That (killing of the disbelievers) is not what is meant; rather it is your killing one another." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said (in astonishment): Will our minds be (sound) with us at that time? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the minds of the people of that time will be taken away, and there will remain behind worthless people like dust, who will think that they are on some (true) path, whereas they will not be on anything (right)." Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said (about this situation): "I see that this tribulation will reach me and you, so in the light of the covenant that has been given to us, I know no way of escaping it except that we come out of it just as (uninvolved and unstained as) we entered it."
