وَعَن سَلامَة بنت الْحر قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يَتَدَافَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ لَا يَجِدُونَ إِمَامًا يُصَلِّي بِهِمْ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَأَبُو دَاوُد وَابْن مَاجَه

Salamah bint al-Hurr reported that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: One of the signs of the Hour is that the people of a mosque will pass the responsibility back and forth, unable to find an imam to lead them in prayer. Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah transmitted it.
