4983. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “If you hear a man say:” – Mūsā (one of the narrators) said: “If a man says” – “The people are doomed,” he is the cause of their doom.” (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: Mālik said: “If he says that out of sorrow at what he sees of the people – meaning with regard to their religion – I do not see anything wrong with it, but if he says that out of self-admiration and belittling the people, then this is the disliked thing that was forbidden."
