Hadith 9395

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَكْثُرَ الْمَالُ وَيَفِيضَ ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ الرَّجُلُ بِزَكَاةِ مَالِهِ فَلَا يَجِدُ أَحَدًا يَقْبَلُهَا مِنْهُ ، وَحَتَّى تَعُودَ أَرْضُ الْعَرَبِ مُرُوجًا وَأَنْهَارًا ، وَحَتَّى يَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ " ، قَالُوا : وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ ، قَالَ : " الْقَتْلُ ، الْقَتْلُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes so abundant and widespread that a man will take out the zakat of his wealth but will not find anyone to accept it, and until the land of Arabia becomes filled with rivers and streams, and until "harj" becomes widespread. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by harj?" He replied, "Killing."
