It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will be rulers who will be surrounded by crowds of people (or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: by hangers-on). Shu'bah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said these words: Then those rulers will commit injustice and tell lies. So whoever confirms their lies and helps them in their injustice has no connection with me and I have no connection with him; and whoever does not confirm their lies and does not help them in their injustice, he is from me and I am from him."
