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

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Knowledge will be withdrawn, and turmoil will prevail, and disputes will increase."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

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hour will not be established until knowledge is taken away, ignorance appears, and there is an increase in killing." It was said: "And what is the killing?" He said: "Bloodshed."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقْبَضَ الْعِلْمُ وَيَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ 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".
