3959. Abu Musa narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
"Before the Hour comes there will be Harj." I said: "O Messenger of Allāh, what is Harj?" He said: "Killing." Some of the Muslims said: "O Messenger of Allāh, now we kill such and such a number of the idolators in one year." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "That will not be like killing the idolators, rather you will kill one another, until a man will kill his neighbor and son of the cousin and a relative." Some of the people said: "O Messenger of Allāh, will we be in our right minds that day?" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "No, reason will be taken away from most of the people at that time, and there will be left the insignificant people who have no reason." (Sahih)
Then Ash'ari said: "By Allāh, I think that you and I will see that, and by Allāh, you and I will have no way out, if we see that which our Prophet ﷺ described to us, except the way we entered it."

Commentary
One of the portents of the Last Hour is that Muslims will kill each other over trivial matters. It is a very bad practice that was not common among Muslims in the recent past though many other afflictions were common.
The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ were sincere and the disagreement that occurred among them was due to misunderstanding. So, they were able to correct themselves without being influenced by the propaganda of deviant people.
