Lovelessness among people in the end times is a portent both of doomsday and of the coming of the Mahdi

Doomsday will not take place... UNTIL GREETINGS ARE EXTENDED ONLY TO ACQUAINTANCES, NOT TO PEOPLE IN GENERAL.

(Death-Doomsday-The Hereafter and the Portents of the End Times, Imam Sharani - Al-Qurtubi, Bedir Publishing, Istanbul 1981 p. 461; no. 845)

Amr ibn Nufayl says: I heard the Imam Hussein (as) say: “The one you await (the Mahdi) will not appear until you say you are distanced from one another, until you spit in one another’s faces and accuse one another of denial and until you curse one another.” I asked, ‘Then there is nothing auspicious at that time?’ He replied: “All the auspiciousness is in that period. Our Qaim (The Mahdi) will appear and put an end to all that.”

(Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Nomani, al-Ghaybah al-Nomani, p. 241)

Umayra, daughter of Nufayl, relates: “I heard the daughter of Hasan say: ”This matter you expect (the coming of Hazrat Mahdi [as]) will not happen until SOME OF YOU STAND FAR APART FROM OTHERS AND CURSE EACH OTHER.

(Bihar Al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 211)
