The Prophet ﷺ said, "(Religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious scholars) ignorance (in religion) and afflictions will appear; and Harj will increase." It was asked, "What is Harj, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He replied by beckoning with his hand indicating "killing." (Fath-al-Bari Page 192, Vol. 1)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَيَظْهَرُ الْجَهْلُ وَالْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ فَقَالَ هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ فَحَرَّفَهَا كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ الْقَتْلَ

(When) the time would draw close to the Last Hour, knowledge would be snatched away, turmoil would be rampant, miserliness would be put (in the hearts of the people) and therewould be much bloodshed. They said: What is al-harj? Thereupon he said: It is bloodshed.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ وَيُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ

“Time will pass quickly, knowledge will decrease, miserliness will be cast into people’s hearts, tribulations will appear and there will be much Harj.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what is Harj?” He said: “Killing.”

يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ وَيَنْقُصُ الْعِلْمُ وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ

They said: What is al-harj? Thereupon he said: It is bloodshed. (Using translation from Muslim 157e)

نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ تَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قُلْنَا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ قَالَ وَيُقْبَضُالْعِلْمُ

[Machine] "Ma adri kam ra'aytu aba hurayrata qa'iman fi as-suq yaqulu yuqbadu al-'ilmu wa tazharu al-fitnu wa yakthuru al-harju qala qila ya rasulallahi wama al-harju? Qala biyadihi hakadha wa harrafaha."

"I do not know how many times I saw Abu Huraira standing in the market saying, 'Knowledge will be taken away, turmoil will appear, and arguments will increase.' It was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is turmoil?' He replied, by indicating with his hand, 'It is like this,' and he twisted his fingers."

مَا أَدْرِي كَمْ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَائِمًا فِي السُّوقِ يَقُولُ يُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَحَرَّفَهَا

[Machine] Abu Al-Qasim ﷺ said, "The Hour will not take place until knowledge is taken away, and trials become widespread, and there is much killing." They asked, "What is 'killing,' O Prophet of Allah?" He replied, "It is murder."

أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ قَالُوا وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Knowledge will be withdrawn, and turmoil will prevail, and disputes will increase." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is turmoil?" He said, "Killing."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُقْبَضُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The time will become short, knowledge will be decreased, civil strife (fitan) will appear, niggardliness will be case into people's heart, and harj will be prevalent. He was asked: Messenger of Allah! what is it: He replied: Slaughter, slaughter. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4255)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ وَيَنْقُصُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ» قَالُوا «وَمَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ » الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ «

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ وَيَنْقُصُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيٌّ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «الْقَتْلُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not occur until knowledge is taken away, trials appear, falsehood increases, time narrows, markets come close together, and there is much killing." It was said: What is "al-harj"? He said: "Killing."

عَنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يُوشِكُ أَنْ لَا تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرَ الْفِتَنُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْكَذِبُ وَيَتَقَارَبَ الزَّمَانُ وَتَتَقَارَبَ الْأَسْوَاقُ وَيَكْثُرَ الْهَرْجُ» قِيلَ وَمَا الْهَرْجُ؟ قَالَ «الْقَتْلُ»

اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم يتقارب الزمان ويقبض العلم وتظهر الفتن ويكثر الهرج قالوا يا رَسولَ اللهِ وما الهرج قال القتل

"يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ، وَيُقْبَضُ الْعلْمُ، وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ، وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ، وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ، قِيلَ: ومَا الْهَرْجُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: الْقَتْلُ".
