ابن ماجہ · Hadith 4058
It was narratted from Anas that Messenger of Allah said My nation will stages. For forty be) people of d piety. Then them, for the and twenty years, will be people who show mercy to one another and uphold ties with one another. Then those who follow them for the next one hundred and sixty years will be people who will tum their backs on one another and sever ties with one another. Then there will be Harj after Harj (killing). Seek deliverance, seek deliverance." (Da'if)Another chain from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah P.B.UH said: "My nation will pass through five stages, each of which will last for forty years. During my stage and that of my Companions, they will be people of knowledge and faith. The second stage, from forty to eighty years, will be people of righteousness and piety." Then he mentioned something similar. (Da'if)
