Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 4306 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَأَبِي مُوسَى ، وَهُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ ، فَذَكَرَا عَنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " قَبْلَ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّامٌ يُرْفَعُ فِيهَا الْعِلْمُ ، وَيَنْزِلُ فِيهَا الْجَهْلُ ، وَيَكْثُرُ فِيهَا الْهَرْجُ " ، قَالَوا : ما الْهَرْجُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْقَتْلُ " .
Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud and Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with them both). These two gentlemen said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Near the Day of Judgment, ignorance will descend, knowledge will be taken away, and 'harj' will become widespread." We asked about the meaning of 'harj', so he said: "Killing."
