4454 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ مَا يُبَالِي الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَصَابَ الْمَالَ مِنْ حَلَالٍ أَوْ حَرَامٍ»

Commentary
In other words, people's sole aim would become to earn wealth. Wealth would come, albeit from anywhere. There would remain no distinction between the lawful and the unlawful. Today, this atmosphere generally prevails. Numerous departments, associations, and organizations deem achievement of wealth their first and foremost goal. Lawfulness and unlawfulness comes later. So much so that various religious institutions and establishments also have dyed themselves in the same color. Indeed we belong to Allāh and are going to return to Him.
