The Messenger of Allaah (ï·º) said on the authority of Abu Hurairah - radiyallaahu an'hu:

يتقاربُ الزَّمانُ وينقُصُ العِلمُ، وتَظهَرُ الفِتَنُ، ويُلقى الشُّحُّ، ويَكثُرُ الهَرْجُ، قيل: يا رسولَ اللهِ، أَيّه هو؟ قال: القَتْلُ القَتْلُ

'(Before the coming of the Hour) seasons shall become closer, knowledge shall reduce (in the version of Bukhaaree: there shall be less action), tribulations shall become commonplace, there shall be widespread avarice, and there shall be har'j.'

They said: 'O Messenger of Allaah, what is har'j?' 

He (ï·º)  said: 'Killing! Killing!'
