Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَتَقَارَبُ الزَّمَانُ وَيَنْقُصُ الْعِلْمُ وَتَظْهَرُ الْفِتَنُ وَيُلْقَى الشُّحُّ وَيَكْثُرُ الْهَرْجُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيَّةُ هُوَ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْقَتْلُ الْقَتْلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Salih narrated to us: Anbasah narrated to us: Yunus narrated to me, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Humayd ibn Abd al-Rahman narrated to me that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Time will draw close, knowledge will diminish, trials will appear, miserliness will be cast into people hearts, and harj will increase.” They asked, “Messenger of Allah, what is harj?” He said, “Killing, killing.”
