3.  Imam  Ja’far  Sadiq    narrates  that  the  Holy  Prophet (s.a.w.s.)  said,  “A  time  will  come  when  my  Ummah  will become impure from inside and attractive from outside in order  to  acquire  wealth.  They  will  do  showoff  instead  of gaining divine rewards. They will not fear Allah. Allah will punish all of them. At that time, people will supplicate like a drowning man but their supplications will not be accepted.”
