It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him): May Allah protect you from the rule of fools and incompetent people. Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is meant by the rule of fools? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The rulers who will come after me, they will not follow my way and will not act upon my Sunnahs. Whoever affirms them despite their lies and helps them despite their oppression and injustice, he has no connection with me and I have no connection with him, nor will he come to me at my Pond. And whoever does not affirm their lies and does not help them in their oppression, he is of me and I am of him, and these are the people who will come to me at my Pond.
