Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #7186 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]: Time draws close: the years, months and days seem to pass ever faster.

[Described Characteristics]: In al-Tirmidhi's narration: a year will be like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day, a day like an hour, and an hour like the burning of a palm leaf.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads over time, alongside other signs that have no fixed order.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Take advantage of five before five: your youth before old age, health before sickness, wealth before poverty, free time before busyness, and life before death.'
