It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The just ruler will be the most beloved to Allah Almighty on the Day of Resurrection and will have the closest position to Allah. And on the Day of Resurrection, the most disliked by Allah and the one deserving the severest punishment will be the ruler who oppressed others in the world.
