Asalamu alaikum, From sh. al albaani's Silsilat ulahaadeeth assaheehah: The shaykh mentions this hadith in explaining hadith #6, that "There will not come upon you a time except that the one after it is worse than it, until you meet your Lord" - and he mentions that this hadith is not to be understood in a general sense (in light of the ahaadeeth talking about the coming of al-Mahdi and Isa alayhi asalaam, etc) - so there is a specificity implied in this hadeeth... Can someone elaborate on this inshaAllah and explain what the shaykh means? jazakum Allahu khayraa

Wa 'alaykumussalaam, There is a commentary on that narration at: "The Sign of the Times" By Shaykh żAbdullaah Ibn Saalih al-żUbaylaan http://www.troid.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=306&Itemid=325 Excerpts from the article: The reply of ibn Mas'ood, radyallaah 'anhu: "There will not come upon you a time, except that it is more evil than the one before it. I do not mean a leader better than another leader, nor a year better than another year. But your żulamaa and fuqahaa (scholars and jurists) will disappear, and you will not find anyone to succeed them. Then there will come a people who will give verdicts according to their opinions." [ Ibn Hajr related it in Fathul-Baaree (13/24) by way of ashShażbee, from Masrooq, from him ] And in another wording: "It is not due to abundance of rain, nor due to its scarcity. Rather it is due to the disappearance of the scholars. Then there will come a people who will give verdicts upon matter by mere opinions; and thus they will destroy Islaam." [ Related in al-Fath (13/24) in the same manner as above. ]
