It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, for everything there is some bane that ruins it, and the bane of this religion is evil and corrupt rulers."
Imam al-Harith bin Abi Usamah narrated this hadith in his Musnad. Its chain contains Mubarak bin Hassan al-Sulami, a da'if (weak) narrator; moreover, there is a break (inqita') in the chain because al-Hasan al-Basri's hearing from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) is not established.
