وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا يَنْتَظِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا غِنًى مُطْغِيًا أَوْ فَقْرًا مُنْسِيًا أَوْ مَرَضًا مُفْسِدًا أَوْ هَرَمًا مُفَنِّدًا أَوْ مَوْتًا مُجْهِزًا أَوِ الدَّجَّالَ فَالدَّجَّالُ شَرٌّ غَائِبٌ يُنْتَظَرُ أَوِ السَّاعَةَ وَالسَّاعَةُ أَدْهَى وَأَمَرُّ» رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَالنَّسَائِيّ
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you waits for anything except (i) wealth that breeds rebellion (or sin causing to neglect enjoining piety and forbidding evil), (ii) or, poverty that causes one to forget (obedience), (iii) or, an illness that (because of its severity) harms (physically and mentally), (iv) or, old age that weakens the mind (and makes one foolish), (v) or, death that puts an end to all (leaving no time to repent), (vi) or, the dajjal (the great deceiver) and he is the worst of all and will appear during the last days, (vii) or, the Last Hour that is most calamitous and most bitter.
