Hadith 10955

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ , حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ , حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ الْأَصَمِّ , قََالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ , يَقُولُ : قََالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ , وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ " , قُلْنَا : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ " , وَقَالَ : " وَيُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Near the Day of Judgment, there will be widespread tribulations, "harj" will increase, and knowledge will be taken away. We asked about the meaning of "harj," so he said: Killing, killing.
