To what extent is the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, which mentions the signs of the Hour, authentic, such as: "The child shall be a source of rage, and the rain shall be a source of torment, and the wicked shall overflow, and the liar shall be believed, and the truthful shall be disbelieved, and the treacherous shall be trusted, and kinship ties shall be severed, and hypocrites and transgressors shall prevail, and mihrabs shall be decorated while hearts are desolate, and the believer shall become more humiliated than a dirham, and men shall suffice themselves with men and women with women, and the rule of children and the plotting of women, and the ruins of the world shall be built up while its prosperity is ruined, and musical instruments and pride and wine drinking shall appear, and children of fornication shall increase, and men and women shall continue in fornication after divorce"?

The aforementioned Hadith is fabricated (Mawdu'), it is not authentically attributed to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with this particular wording, although some of its phrases have corroborating evidence. It was narrated by Al-Tabarani and others. Its chain of narration revolves around Saif ibn Miskin, who narrates fabricated and inverted (Mawdu'at and Maqlubat) traditions, and it is not permissible to use his narrations as evidence. It has been declared weak by Al-Bayhaqi, Al-Iraqi, and Al-Sakhawi.
