Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9209

وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ : ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - الْأُمَرَاءَ فَقَالَ : " يَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ إِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ أَدْخَلُوكُمُ النَّارَ وَإِنْ عَصَيْتُمُوهُمْ قَتَلُوكُمْ " . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِّهِمْ لَنَا لَعَلَّنَا نَحْثُوا فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ التُّرَابَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْثُونَ فِي وَجْهِكَ وَيَفْقَؤُونَ عَيْنَكَ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَفِيهِ سُنَيْدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ ضَعَّفَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَوَثَّقَهُ ابْنُ حِبَّانَ وَأَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the rulers and said: "There will come over you rulers who, if you obey them, will cause you to enter Hell, and if you disobey them, will have you killed." One of those present said: "O Messenger of Allah! Describe their appearance (or qualities) to us so that we may throw dust in their faces." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps they will throw dust in your face and gouge out your eye."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Sunayd bin Dawud, whom Ahmad declared weak while Ibn Hibban and Abu Hatim declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
