Hadith #388
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ 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

Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, he said: Ya'qub narrated to us, from Suhayl, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The Hour will not be established until wealth becomes abundant and overflows, to the point that a man goes out with the zakah of his wealth and cannot find anyone to accept it from him, and until the land of the Arabs returns to meadows and rivers, and until al-harj increases.' They asked: 'What is al-harj, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Killing, killing.'
