What is the authenticity of the Hadith: "The Hour will not be established until their covenants become chaotic; they say at night what they do not do by day, and they say by day what they do not do at night"?
The mentioned in the question has no basis with this wording attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, some of its phrases have similar meanings in authentic narrations. For example, the first phrase, which speaks of "the corruption of people's covenants and the loss of their trusts," is mentioned in the hadith of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may Allah be pleased with them both: "Soon there will come a time when people will be sifted, and there will remain scum among people whose covenants and trusts have been corrupted, and they differed, becoming like this." As for the second phrase about "saying without acting," its meaning is found in the hadith of Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "There has been no prophet whom Allah sent to a nation before me, but he had among his nation disciples and companions who followed his and obeyed his command. Then, after them, generations will come who say what they do not do."
