“The Hour will not come until the happiest person in this world is an ignoble son of an ignoble man.” Al-Tirmidhi (2209); authenticated by al-Albani in Sahih al-Jami (7431). Hamud al-Tuwayjiri explains: “These reports mean that, at the end of time, wealth passes into the hands of ignoble men of ignoble descent, who become the happiest in worldly comforts, pleasures and prestige.” [Ithaf al-Jamaah: 2/62]
