I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: One of the signs of the Last Hour will be that people in a mosque will refuse to act as imam and will not find an imam to lead them in prayer.  

أبو داود:٥٨١ – حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ حَدَّثَتْنِي طَلْحَةُ أُمُّ غُرَابٍ

عَنْ عَقِيلَةَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي فَزَارَةَ مَوْلاَةٌ لَهُمْ عَنْ سَلاَمَةَ بِنْتِ الْحُرِّ أُخْتِ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَتَدَافَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ يَجِدُونَ إِمَامًا يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ
