Silsilah as-Sahihah 2502 — Fulfilling the rights of rulers

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: "Indeed, after me you will see people depriving you of your rights, and you will see things which you will disapprove of." The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What do you command us to do in such a situation?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfill their rights and ask Allah for your own rights."
