When we see these protesters gathering in their droves, you can't but appreciate the prophecy of the Prophet ﷺ:
((يُوشِكُ الأُمَمُ أَنْ تَدَاعَى عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا تَدَاعَى الأَكَلَةُ إِلَى قَصْعَتِهَا)).‏ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ وَمِنْ قِلَّةٍ نَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ؟ قَالَ: ‏((بَلْ أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَثِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّكُمْ غُثَاءٌ كَغُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ وَلَيَنْزِعَنَّ اللهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ عَدُوِّكُمُ الْمَهَابَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَيَقْذِفَنَّ اللهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمُ الْوَهَنَ)).‏
The highlighted part translates:
“You will be NUMEROUS at that time, but YOU WILL BE LIKE SCUM and rubbish that is carried down by a torrent.”
[ḥadīth Thawbān, Sunan Abi Dawud, 4297 - Sahih (Al-Albani)]
