It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will be rulers over you in whom hearts will find contentment and towards whom bodies will soften; then there will be rulers over you from whom bodies will shudder and from whom hearts will recoil." The narrator says: At this a man said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), should we not fight them? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, as long as they establish the prayer."
