85. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, “(Religious) knowledge will be taken away (by the death of religious scholars), ignorance (in religion) and Al-Fitn (trials and afflictions) will appear; and Harj will increase.” It was asked, “What is Harj, O Allāh’s Messenger?” He replied by beckoning with his hand indicating “killing.” (See Fath Al-Bārī, Vol. I, page 192)
85 - حَدَّثَنَا المَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «يُقْبَضُ العِلْمُ، وَيَظْهَرُ الجَهْلُ وَالفِتَنُ، وَيَكْثُرُ الهَرْجُ»، قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا الهَرْجُ؟ فَقَالَ: «هَكَذَا بِيَدِهِ فَحَرَّفَهَا، كَأَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ القَتْلَ»
