Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Paradise is not lawful for a sinner. Whoever comes before Allah Almighty having broken his pledge of allegiance will come before Allah Almighty afflicted with leprosy. Whoever leaves the community (jama'ah) by a hand-span, doing so deliberately, has removed the collar of Islam from his neck. And whoever dies in a state in which he does not follow a ruler who is the ruler of the community (that is, the community of the Muslims), such a person dies the death of the Age of Ignorance (jahiliyyah)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains Amr bin Waqid, who is matruk (abandoned).
