Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #20860 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Al-harj means much killing. The Prophet ﷺ said it will increase before the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: Killing becomes so common that the killer does not know why he killed and the victim does not know why he was killed.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads among people over time, alongside other signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: In times of fitnah the Prophet ﷺ advised: be like the better of Adam's two sons, the one who is killed rather than the one who kills.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the caliphate after him would last thirty years and then become kingship, and that the religion would stay strong under twelve rulers, all from Quraysh.

[Described Characteristics]: Safinah counted the thirty years: Abu Bakr two, Umar ten, Uthman twelve, Ali six. The thirtieth year was completed by al-Hasan's months, after which Mu'awiyah ruled.

[Timeline & Context]: The thirty years ran from 11 to 41 AH, and kingship followed; this has passed.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hold to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me; bite onto it with your molar teeth.'
