Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is present with a ruler should speak good, or else remain silent."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, Salih bin Muhammad bin Ziyad, whom Ahmad and Ibn Adi declared thiqah (trustworthy) and a group declared da'if (weak); the rest of the narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
