Hadith 3640

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ ، وَتَرَوْنَ أَثَرَةً " ، قَالَ : قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَا يَصْنَعُ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَاكَ مِنَّا ؟ قَالَ : " أَدُّوا الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْكُمْ ، وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon after me you will see favoritism and matters that you will dislike." The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What should the one among us who encounters that time do?" He said: "Fulfill the duties that are obligatory upon you and ask Allah for your rights."
