4760. It was narrated from Hammad bin Zaid, from Al-Mu'allā bin Ziyād and Hishām bin Hassān, from Al-Hasan, from Dabbah Ibn Miḥsan, from Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There will be rulers over you, some of whose deeds you will approve of, and some you will disapprove of. Whoever denounces them with his tongue will have discharged his duty, and whoever hates their bad deeds in his heart will be safe. But whoever approves of them and follows them (is the one who does wrong).' It was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, should we not kill them?' He said: 'No, not so long as they pray.'" Abū Dāwūd said:[1] "Should we not fight them?" (Saḥīh)
