Imam Baqir (a.s) quoted on the authority of God's Prophet (a.s)
“Seek refuge in God from the Fire under the following conditions: (1) Whenever widespread sexual corruption appears in a society, new illnesses and plagues will become epidemic, (2) whenever sellers cheat the buyers they will face high living expenses, the oppression of the king and famine, (3) whenever the people abandon the alms tax, it will not rain much, just some for the sake of animals, (4) whenever the people break their covenant with God and His Prophets, their enemies will conquer them and capture some of their wealth, and (5) whenever the people decree against divinely descended decrees, they will have fights among themselves and God will leave them alone.”
عن الباقر (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): خمس خصال إن أدركتموها فتعوذوا بالله من النار: لم تظهر الفاحشة في قوم قط حتى يعلنوا بها إلا ظهر فيهم الطاعون والأوجاع التي لم تكن في أسلافهم الذين مضوا، ولم ينقصوا المكيال والميزان إلا اخذوا بالسنين وشدة المؤونة وجور السلطان، ولم يمنعوا الزكاة إلا منع القطر من السماء، فلولا البهائم لم يمطروا، ولم ينقضوا عهد الله وعهد رسوله إلا سلط عليهم عدوهم فأخذوا بعض ما في أيديهم، ولم يحكموا بغير ما أنزل الله إلا جعل بأسهم بينهم.
