It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who reports from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Soon there will be rulers who will be surrounded by courtiers and friends from among the people; they will commit oppression and speak lies. Whoever helps them in their oppression and affirms them as truthful despite their lies, then he is not from me and I am not from him. And whoever does not affirm them in their lies and does not help them in their oppression, then he is from me and I am from him."
