Riyad as-Salihin, 1825
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A time will come when a man will go about with alms from his gold and will not find anyone to receive it. One man will be seen being followed by forty women dependant upon him on account of the scarcity of men and excess of women." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
ليأتين على الناس زمان يطوف الرجل فيه بالصدقة من الذهب، فلا يجد أحداً يأخذها منه، ويرى الرجل الواحد يتبعه أربعون امرأة يلذن به من قلة الرجال وكثرة النساء
((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It tells us something amazing; money will be so abundant that it will not be possible to find a person accepting charity.<br>
2) It informs about the wars and trials at the end of time, in which many men will be killed and thus women will become far greater in number than men.
