Sahih al-Bukhari 5231 (Book 67, Hadith 164) #5010
Signs of the End Times

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of the signs of the end times, which include a decrease in religious knowledge, an increase in general ignorance, illegal sexual intercourse and drinking of alcoholic drinks. It also mentions that there will be a decrease in men and an increase in women to the point where fifty women will be looked after by one man.

Narrated Anas: I will narrate to you a Habith I heard from Allah's Messenger and none other than I will tell you of it. I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "From among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious knowledge will be taken away; General ignorance (in religious matters) will increase; illegal Sexual intercourse will prevail: Drinking of alcoholic drinks will prevail. Men will decrease in number, and women will increase in number, so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man".
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لاَ يُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِهِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ الْعِلْمُ، وَيَكْثُرَ الْجَهْلُ وَيَكْثُرَ الزِّنَا، وَيَكْثُرَ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ، وَيَقِلَّ الرِّجَالُ، وَيَكْثُرَ النِّسَاءُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِخَمْسِينَ امْرَأَةً الْقَيِّمُ الْوَاحِدُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about some signs that will occur before the end times. These signs include a decrease in religious knowledge, an increase in general ignorance, illegal sexual intercourse and drinking of alcoholic drinks. Additionally, it mentions that there will be a decrease in men and an increase in women to the point where fifty women will be looked after by one man. This is meant to show how chaotic things can become when people do not follow Allah's laws or teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was warning us about these signs so we can prepare ourselves for what is to come and strive to stay away from such sins as much as possible. We should also strive to spread knowledge so others may benefit from it as well.
