It is narrated from Azhar bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) came from Syria to perform Hajj, and on reaching Madinah he presented himself before Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him: "Shall I not inform you of something I myself heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Yes, certainly." Sayyiduna Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Soon rulers will be placed over you who will command you to do things that you recognise (as good and right), but they themselves will commit things that you reject (as evil and wrong). Such people are owed no obedience by you (in matters of disobedience to Allah)."
