Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يخرج في آخر الزمان رجال يختلون الدنيا بالدين يلبسون للناس جلود الضأن من اللين ألسنتهم أحلى من العسل وقلوبهم قلوب الذئاب يقول الله عز و جل أبي يغترون أم علي يجترئون فبي حلفت لأبعثن على أولئك منهم فتنة تدع الحليم حيران رواه الترمذي من رواية يحيى بن عبيد سمعت أبي يقول سمعت أبا هريرة فذكره ورواه مختصرا من حديث ابن عمر وقال حديث حسن (الترغيب و الترهيب 1/78)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “At the end of time (close to Qiyaamah) such men will make an appearance who will seek the dunya through actions of the Aakhirah. They will wear woolen clothing for show in trying to express their piety and abstinence of the world before people. Their tongues (their speech) will be sweeter than honey (in their approach and in trying to sway people towards them), and their hearts will be like the hearts of wolves (in the love of the world and in harbouring evil towards the pious). Allah Ta’ala will say: “Are they being deceived (in thinking that they will not receive my punishment) on account of Me granting them respite, or are they being bold through opposing Me (and deceiving my servants with their external piety)? I take a qasm upon My Being, I will inflict upon them (such a punishment in the form of) trials, which will cause the wise and learned amongst them to become confused and bewildered.
