2404. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "In the end of time there shall come men who will swindle the world with religion, deceiving the people in soft skins of sheep, their tongues are sweeter than sugar and their hearts are the hearts of wolves. Allāh [Mighty and Sublime is He] says: 'Is it me you try to delude or is it against me whom you conspire? By Me, I swear to send upon these people, among them, a Fitnah that leaves them utterly devoid of reason.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
Those who use religion as a ploy in order to earn the benefits of the world are the people who try to delude the world by donning sheep skins, although their hearts are noxious like those of the wolves, and their hearts are brimming with the love and greed of the world. Such people, when ultimately they are caught in the web of trials and retribution, will exercise their brain and wit as much as they would, but find no escape or way out of the vortex of their own making.
