Sunan Ibn Majah 4050 (Book 36, Hadith 125) #33405
The Loss of Knowledge and Ignorance Leading to Killing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned that before the Day of Judgement, knowledge will be lost and ignorance will become widespread, leading to much killing.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah said: "Just before the Hour, there will be days when knowledge will disappear, ignorance will become widespread and there will be much Harj. And Harj means killing".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَوَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّامٌ يُرْفَعُ فِيهَا الْعِلْمُ وَيَنْزِلُ فِيهَا الْجَهْلُ وَيَكْثُرُ فِيهَا الْهَرْجُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْهَرْجُ الْقَتْلُ
