It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When there are rulers over you such that whoever goes in to them, affirms their lies and helps them in their oppression, he is not from me and I am not from him, and he will not come to the Pond. And whoever goes in to them but does not affirm their lies and does not help them in their oppression, he is from me and I am from him. O Ka'b bin Ujrah, flesh and blood that have grown from unlawful earnings will never enter Paradise; any flesh and blood that have grown from unlawful earnings, the Fire is more fitting for them. O Ka'b bin Ujrah, people, morning and evening, are of two kinds: one is striving to free his neck and so sets it free, and the other destroys it. O Ka'b bin Ujrah, prayer is a proof, and fasting is a shield."
