Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقَاشِيِّ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ السَّاعَةِ الْهَرْجَ قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ قَالُوا أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا نَقْتُلُ إِنَّا لَنَقْتُلُ كُلَّ عَامٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا قَالَ إِنَّهُ ل
َيْسَ بِقَتْلِكُمْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَلَكِنْ قَتْلُ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضًا قَالُوا وَمَعَنَا عُقُولُنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَتُنْزَعُ عُقُولُ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ وَيُخَلَّفُ لَهُ هَبَاءٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ يَحْسِبُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ وَلَيْسُوا عَلَى شَيْءٍ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا أَجِدُ لِي وَلَكُمْ مِنْهَا مَخْرَجًا إِنْ أَدْرَكَتْنِي وَإِيَّاكُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا كَمَا دَخَلْنَا فِيهَا لَمْ نُصِبْ مِنْهَا دَمًا وَلَا مَالًا

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Ṣamad and ʿAffān narrated to us, they said: Ḥammād ibn Salamah narrated to us, ʿAlī ibn Zayd informed us, from Ḥiṭṭān ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Raqāshī, from al-Ashʿarī, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Before the Hour there will be al-harj.' They said: 'What is al-harj?' He said: 'Killing.' They said: 'More than what we already kill? We kill more than seventy thousand every year.' He said: 'It is not your killing of the polytheists, but rather you killing one another.' They said: 'And will we have our minds then?' He said: 'The minds of the people of that time will be taken away, and there will be left among them only worthless rabble. Most of them will think they are upon something, but they will be upon nothing.' ʿAffān said in his narration: Abū Mūsā said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, I find no way out for myself and you, if that reaches us, except that we leave it as we entered it — not having shed any blood or taken any wealth.'
