عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ وَتَرَوْنَ أَثَرَةً))، قَالَ: قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! فَمَا يَصْنَعُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنَّا؟ قَالَ: ((أَدُّوا الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ))، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً وَأُمُورًا تُنْكِرُونَهَا))، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: مَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ: ((أَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ حَقَّهُمْ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّكُمْ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon such rulers will be imposed over you who will give preference to others over you. The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! What should a person among us do if he finds such a situation? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fulfill the right that is due from you and ask Allah for your own right.
… In another narration: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: After me, you will see that others will be given preference over you and you will also see evil matters. We said: In such circumstances, what do you advise us to do? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fulfill their (the rulers’) rights and ask Allah for your own right.
