4049. It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yamân that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Islam will wear out as embroidery on a garment wears out, until no one will know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites[1] and charity are. The Book of Allâh will be taken away at night, and not one Verse of it will be left on earth. And there will be some people left, old men and old women, who will say: "We saw our fathers saying these words: 'Lâ ilâha illallâh' so we say them too." Silah said to him: "What good will (saying): Lâ ilâha illallâh do them, when they do not know what fasting, prayer, (pilgrimage) rites and charity are?" Hudhaifah turned away from him. He repeated his question three times, and Hudhaifah turned away from him each time. Then he turned to him on the third time and said: "O Silah! It will save them from Hell," three times. (Da'if)

Commentary
During the time of afflictions, even a few deeds are sufficient for salvation, because practicing even a few teachings of Islam also becomes very difficult at that time. In Russia, during the communist rule they tried very systematically to deprive Muslims of their religion. Therefore, Muslims in Russia and in other communist countries were forced to give up Islam to the extent that they forgot everything about Islam except its name.
