A Narration on the Spread of Shamelessness Before Qiyamah

Question

Kindly give the reference for this narration:

قال عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص : لا تقوم الساعة حتى يتسافد الناس في الطرق تسافد الحمير

 

Answer

Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration as the statement of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) said: “Qiyamah will not be established until people commit fornication openly in the streets as if they were donkeys.”

(Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah: 38432)

However, Imam Ibn Hibban and Imam Bazzar (rahimahumallah) have recorded this narration as a Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma). See here

The narration may therefore be quoted as Hadith of Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
