Hazrat Abu Huraira, Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
“[When] the time would draw close to the Last Hour, knowledge would be snatched away, turmoil would be rampant, miserliness would be put [in the hearts of the people] and there would be much bloodshed.” They said: “What is al-Harj?” Thereupon he said: “It is bloodshed.”
(Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Ilam)
