Imam Ali (AS) said, A time will come upon the people when none will be given a high position except the slanderer, none will be deemed witty except the corrupt and none will be regarded as weak but the just. People will consider charity as a loss, keeping ties with near relatives as an obligation and worship as a means of gaining superiority over people. Vain desires will overcome them and guidance will disappear from among them.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : يَأْتي عَلَى النّاسِ زَمانٌ لايُقَرَّبُ فيهِ إلاّ الماحِلُ وَ لايُسْتَظْرَفُ فيهِ إلاّ الفاجِرُ وَ لايُضَعَّفُ فيهِ إلاّ المُنْصِفُ يَعُدُّونَ الصَّدَقَةَ غُرْماً وَ صِلَةَ الرَّحِمِ مَنّاً وَ العِبادَةَ اسْتَطالَةً عَلَى النّاسِ وَ يَظْهَرُ عَلَيْهِمُ الهَوى وَ يَخْفى بَيْنَهُمُ الهُدى
