حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ أَلَا أُحَدِّثُکُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُحَدِّثُکُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ وَيَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ وَيَفْشُوَ الزِّنَا وَيُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ وَيَذْهَبَ الرِّجَالُ وَيَبْقَی النِّسَائُ حَتَّی يَکُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً قَيِّمٌ وَاحِدٌ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4045
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H, which no one will tell you after me? I heard it from him (saying): 'Among the portents of the Hour are that knOWledge will be taken away and ignorance will prevail, illegal sex will become widespread and WIne will be drunk, and men will disappear and women will be left, until there is one man in charge of fifty women." (Sahih)
