Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The Hour will not be established until a fool, who is the child of a fool, dominates the world; and the most excellent of people will be the believer who is the child of righteous parents."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its narrators have been declared trustworthy, and there is weakness in some of its narrators. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A chapter on this same meaning has already passed.
