Signs of the Hour 2 - News Regarding The Nations Gathering Against The Muslims, Seeking To Weaken Them, Even Though The Muslims Will Be Large In Numbers

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say to Thaubaan,

"How will you be when the nations will call each other upon you as those who are dining call each other to their dish?" Thaubaan asked,

"...0 Messenger of Allah, will that be because we will be few (in number)?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,

"No, rather at that time you will be many, yet Al-Wahn will be cast into your hearts."

"And what is Al-Wahn, 0 Messenger of Allah?"

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Your love for the world and your hate for fighting."
