Question:
The questioner asks: What is your opinion regarding the hadith
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Hour will not stand until the living person stands over the grave of the dead person and says, ‘Oh, I wish I wereالرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تقوم الساعة حتى يقوم الحي على قبر الميت ويقول يا ليتني
“I wish I were in your place”?

Answer:
Yes, this is when, may Allah protect us, the trials and evils become severe and a person sees matters that are very severe befalling people in the end times, such as killing, looting, plundering, lack of security, and extreme fear. He rolls around on the grave and says, “Oh, I wish I were in your place.” He does not have faith; he has no faith. His intention is not to flee with his religion, but rather his intention is to be safe from the trials he sees, from which he wishes to be delivered, may Allah protect us. This indicates the severity of the trials in the end times. Yes.
