Hadith 8833

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَكَرِيَّا ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَال : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَعُودَ أَرْضُ الْعَرَبِ مُرُوجًا وَأَنْهَارًا ، وَحَتَّى يَسِيرَ الرَّاكِبُ بَيْنَ الْعِرَاقِ وَمَكَّةَ لَا يَخَافُ إِلَّا ضَلَالَ الطَّرِيقِ ، وَحَتَّى يَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ " ، قَالُوا : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " الْقَتْلُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Day of Judgment will not be established until the land of Arabia becomes filled with rivers and streams, and until a rider travels between Iraq and Mecca and has no fear except of losing his way, and until killing (harj) becomes widespread. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by harj? He replied: Killing.
