Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Soon after me, there will come some rulers to whom people will go and come. So whoever affirms their lies and helps them in their oppression, I am free from him and he is free from me. And whoever does not affirm their lies and does not help them in their oppression, I am connected to him and he is connected to me."
