Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''By Him in Whose hand is my soul, a time would come upon the people when the killer would not know why he killed and the victim would not know why he was killed.''
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) swears by Allah that there will come a time when murder would be so widespread that the killer would not know the reason he killed and the killed would not know the reason he was killed for.
Explanation in Arabic
يحلف النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بالله الذي يملك نفسه صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه سيأتي على الناس زمانٌ لا يدري القاتلُ لماذا قَتَل، ولا يدري المقتولُ لماذا قُتِل، وذلك لكثرة القتل.
في هذا الحديث من الفقه أن هذا القاتل والمقتول يكونان في زمان ليس فيه إمام يُعرف به الحق من الباطل.
من علامات الساعة كثرة القتل.
الحديث علامة من علامات النبوة؛ إذ أخبر عن شيء فوقع كما أخبر.
إثبات صفة اليد لله -تعالى- على ما يليق به -سبحانه-.
