"عن عمر بن الخطاب قال: قال رسولُ اللَّه ﷺ: يأتى على النَّاسِ زمانٌ أَكْثَرُهم وجُوهُهُم وجُوهُ الآدَمِيينَ، وقلُوبهم قلوبُ الذئاب الضَّوارِى، سفَّاكون للدماء لَا يَرْعونَ عن قبيحٍ فَعَلُوه، فإن بايعتهم وَارَبُوكَ، وإن حَدَّثُوكَ كذَبُوك، وإن ائتَمنْتَهُم خانوك، وإنْ توَاريت عنهم اغْتَابُوكَ، صَبِيُّهمْ عَارِمٌ، وشَابُّهُمْ شَاطِرٌ ( )، وشيخُهمْ فَاجِرٌ، لا يأمرون بمعروفٍ، ولا ينهون عن منكرٍ، الاختلاطُ بهم ذُلٌّ، وطلبُ ما في أيديهم فَقرٌ، الحليم فيهم غاوٍ، والغَاوِى فيهم حليمٌ، السُّنَّةُ فيهم بدعةٌ والْبِدْعَةُ فيهم سنةٌ، والآمر بالمعروف بينهم مُتَّهَمٌ والفَاسِقُ فِيهم مُشَرَّفٌ، المؤمن بينهم مُسْتَضْعَفٌ، فإذا فعلوا ذلك سَلَّطَ اللَّه عليهم أقوامًا إن تكلموا قَتلوهم، وإن سَكَتُوا استباحوهم، يَسْتَأثرُونَ عليهم بفيئهم، وَيَجُورُونَ عليهم في حكمهم".

"From 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will come upon the people a time when most of their faces will be the faces of humans, but their hearts will be the hearts of ravenous wolves. They will be shedders of blood, not refraining from any ugly deed they have done. If you deal with them, they will deceive you; if they speak to you, they will lie to you; if you entrust them with something, they will betray you; and if you are absent from them, they will backbite you. Their youth is rebellious, their young men are cunning (), and their elders are wicked. They do not enjoin what is good nor forbid what is evil. Mingling with them is humiliation, and seeking what is in their hands is poverty. The forbearing among them is misguided, and the misguided among them is forbearing. The Sunnah among them is innovation, and innovation among them is Sunnah. The one who enjoins good among them is accused, and the sinner among them is honoured. The believer among them is oppressed. When they do this, Allah will give power over them to people who, if they speak, will kill them, and if they remain silent, will take them as prey. They will monopolise their booty and rule them unjustly in their judgments.'"
