'Ali ibn Abi Talib said, "The Prophet said: 'If my Ummah bears fifteen traits, tribulation will befall it.' Someone asked, 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He said,
1. 'When any gain is shared out only among the rich, with no benefit to the poor;
2. when a trust becomes a means of making a profit;
3. when paying Zakat becomes a burden;
4. when a man obeys his wife and disobeys his mother; and
5. treats his friend kindly whilst shunning his father;
6. when voices are raised in the mosques;
7. when the leader of a people is the worst of them;
8. when people treat a man with respect because they fear some evil he may do;
9. when much wine is drunk;
10. when men wear silk;
11. when female singers and musical instruments become popular;
12. when the last ones of this Ummah curse the first ones - then let them expect a red wind, or the earth to swallow them, or to be transformed into animals.' "
