English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-A'la, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Time will become compressed [yataqarrabu al-zaman], miserliness will be widespread [cast upon hearts], trials [fitna] will appear, and al-harj will increase.' They said: 'What is al-harj, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Killing! Killing!'
