Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were sitting by the door of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He came out to us and said: "Do you hear?" We said: "We are listening." This exchange took place two or perhaps three times. Then he said: "Soon rulers will come over you; do not affirm their lies and do not help them in their oppression, for whoever affirms their lies and helps them in their oppression will not come to me at the Pond."
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except for Abdullah bin Khabbab, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
