Are there any Hadiths regarding a time when a man will be a shepherd to forty women, and another Hadith about women marrying in the streets?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Among the signs of the Hour are the disappearance of knowledge and the prevalence of ignorance, the spread of adultery, the drinking of alcohol, and the decrease of men while women remain, such that there will be one guardian for fifty women. The Hour will not commence until it is no longer said on Earth, "Allah, Allah," or "La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah)." The Hour will come upon the worst of people, who will engage in public intercourse like donkeys, without caring about it. It has been narrated that the Hour will not commence until there is no one left on Earth whom Allah has any need of, and until a woman marries in the middle of the road, openly in broad daylight, without anyone denouncing it.
