Majma al-Zawaid 9223 — Rulers of oppression and tyranny and rulers
وَعَنْ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ : قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا مَهْدِيُّ إِذَا ظُهِرَ بِخِيَارِكُمْ وَاسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحْدَاثُكُمْ وَشِرَارُكُمْ وَصُلِّيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ لِغَيْرِ وَقْتِهَا ؟ قُلْتُ : لَا أَدْرِي . قَالَ : لَا تَكُنْ جَابِيًا وَلَا عَرِيفًا وَلَا شُرَطِيًّا وَلَا بَرِيدًا . وَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا .
وَمَهْدِيٌّ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
وَمَهْدِيٌّ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ ، وَبَقِيَّةُ رِجَالِهِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Mahdi narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Mahdi! What will become of you when your best people are overpowered, the young and the wicked among you are made rulers over you, and the prayer is performed outside its appointed time?" I replied: "I do not know!" He said: "Do not become a tax collector (jabi), a headman ('arif), a policeman, or a courier (barid) (that is, a government official), and perform the prayer at its appointed time." I do not know the narrator named Mahdi; the rest of the narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
