Sunan Ibn Majah 4045 (Book 36, Hadith 120) #33400
Signs of the Hour

SUMMARY: The hadith speaks of the signs of the Hour, which include a decrease in knowledge, an increase in ignorance, widespread immorality and alcohol consumption, and a decrease in men with an increase in women.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from the Messenger of Allah , 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".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أَلاَ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ـ لاَ يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ وَيَظْهَرَ الْجَهْلُ وَيَفْشُوَ الزِّنَا وَيُشْرَبَ الْخَمْرُ وَيَذْهَبَ الرِّجَالُ وَيَبْقَى النِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً قَيِّمٌ وَاحِدٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect for knowledge, avoid immorality and alcohol consumption .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the signs that will occur before the Day of Judgment. It states that knowledge will be taken away and replaced by ignorance; immoral behavior such as illegal sex will become widespread; alcohol consumption will become common; there will be fewer men than women; and one man may be left to take care of fifty women. These are all signs that indicate that Judgment Day is near. We should strive to stay away from these behaviors so we can prepare ourselves for this day when Allah's judgment comes down upon us all.
