2219. Thawbān narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Hour shall not be established until tribes of my Ummah unite with the idolaters, and until they worship idols. And indeed there shall be thirty impostors in my Ummah, each of them claiming that he is a Prophet. And I am the last of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me." (Ṣaḥīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Ṣaḥīh.

Commentary
There is no doubt that during the caliphate of Abū Bakr ؓ, after the death of the Prophet ﷺ, a few tribes had turned apostates and joined hand with the idolaters. As for the worship of the idols, it shall be practiced a little before the Hour so much so that some Yemenite women shall make circuits round their old idol Dhul-Khalsah and worship the ancient Arabian idols, Lāt and 'Uzza.
