His saying: (No time comes but the one after it is worse than it). Will the honor return to the Ummah so that they are victorious over their enemies for a month's journey?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 51:19. Is it possible for honor to return to the Ummah such that they are made victorious over their enemies for a month's journey?
The Shaykh : "Worse than it" refers to the rulers, may Allah bless you. It is not a general statement, because the reason Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said this is that they came to him complaining about what they were finding from al-Hajjaj. He said: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said this. This is regarding the rulers. And until now, we find that no time comes but the one after it is worse than it. And what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) intended is that this will continue until the emergence of al-Mahdi.
