حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ تَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ ، فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ فَقَدْ بَرِيءَ ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ " ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا مَا صَلُّوا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Umm Salamah narrated that the Prophet(s.a.w) said:` "Indeed there shall come upon you A'immah whom you like (what they do) and some (of what they do) you dislike. So whoever rejects, then he is innocent, and whoever loathes, then he is safe. But whoever is pleased and follows." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall we fight them?" He said: "No, as long as they offer Salat."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
If the rejection of the evil (munkar) is done verbally, then such a person is free from hypocrisy.
And the one who dislikes it in his heart will remain safe from the evil and consequences of that munkar.
But whoever approves of it and is pleased with it, then he is with those who commit the evil,
meaning, he will also be deserving of the same punishment that they are deserving of.
If the perpetrators of evil are rulers but they are regular in performing prayer (salah),
then fighting against them has been prohibited so that people may remain safe from tribulation (fitnah),
and so that the Ummah does not fall into discord and division.
However, the one who abandons the regular performance of prayer is a disbeliever (kafir),
therefore, fighting against him is permissible.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Prayer (salah) is such an act that its observance becomes a barrier for a person against even the gravest of sins, including killing and fighting, except in the case where one commits the well-known prescribed limits (hudud).
➋ And it is not permissible to revolt (khuruj) against such rulers (umara) who perform the prayer. If they abandon the prayer, then the issue is a matter of scholarly disagreement.
➌ If a person is not able to change the legally prohibited acts (shar‘i munkarat) and oppression upon the subjects with force, then it is obligatory to denounce and recognize them as evil at least with the tongue, or at the very least in the heart; otherwise, there is no faith (iman).
➍ Being pleased with the oppression of the oppressors and becoming their helper is a cause of destruction in this world and the Hereafter.
