4045. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, which no one will tell you after me? I heard it from him (saying): 'Among the portents of the Hour are that knowledge will be taken away and ignorance will prevail, illegal sex will become widespread and wine will be drunk, and men will disappear and women will be left, until there is one man in charge of fifty women.'" (Sahih)
4045 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَا يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ، أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ، وَيَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ، وَيَفْشُوَ الزِّنَا، وَيُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ، وَيَذْهَبَ الرِّجَالُ وَيَبْقَى النِّسَاءُ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً قَيِّمٌ وَاحِدٌ»

[1] Luqmān 31: 34.
'No one will tell you' means that all the Companions who heard this Hadith from the Prophet ﷺ, have died. Anas, ؓ, was the last Companion who died in Basrah. He died in the year 91 A.H. 'Knowledge will be taken away' means proficient and religious scholars will die, and their death will lead to the disappearance of religious guidance. Therefore, the people will become ignorant in their religious matters, even though they will be excellent in their worldly matters. Due to the prevalence of obscenity people no longer will feel disgust from immodesty. Nowadays, our poetry, novels, films and the like are totally dedicated to spreading immorality.
