Hadith 376

f) Salawaat, and pursuit of the lustful desires, and insulting the fathers and the mothers, until you will see the Prohibited as a profit and the Zakat as a tax, and the man would obey his wife, and be disloyal to his neighbour, and cut off his kinship, and the mercy of the elders would be gone, and scarce would be the shame of the young ones, and the (tall) building will be erected, and the slaves and the maids would be oppressed, and they would testify with the personal desires, the judge with the tyranny, and the man would revile his father, and the man would envy his brother, and work with the partners with the betrayal. And scarce would be the loyalty, and the adultery would be widespread, and the men would adorn with the clothes of women, and the cover of shame would be stripped off from them, and the arrogance would flow in the hearts like the flow of the poison in the body, and scarce would be the good deeds, and the crimes would be apparent, and the great ones would be humiliated, and the praises would be sought by the wealth, and the wealth would be spend for the music, and they would be too pre-occupied with the world from the Hereafter. And scarce would be the devoutness, and abundant would be the greed, and the troubles and turmoil, and the Momin would become disgraced, and the hypocrite honoured. Their Masjids would be filled with the Azaan and their hearts would be empty from the Eman, and they would be taking lightly with the Quran, and every ignominy would reach the Momin from them. During that you will see their faces being the faces of human beings, but their hearts would be hearts of the Satans-la. Their talk would be sweeter than the honey, but their hearts would be bitterer than the colocynth. They would be wolves with clothes upon them. There will not be any day except Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted would be Saying: “Are you deceiving Me-azwj or being audacious upon Me-azwj? Did you reckon that rather We had Created you in vain and that you would not be returning to Us? [23: 115]. By My-azwj Mighty and My-azwj Majesty! And it not been for the one worshipping Me-azwj sincerely, I-azwj would not have respited the one who disobeys Me-azwj even for the blink of eye! And had it not been for devoutness of the devout ones from My-azwj servants, I-azwj would not have Sent down a drop from the sky, nor Grow a green leaf. O strange of a people whose wealth is their god, and their hopes are prolonged, and their terms (of life) are short, and they are being greedy to be in the vicinity of their Masters-asws? They will not be arriving to that except with the deeds, nor will the deeds be complete except with the intellect! ”’[157]
