English translation

[4800] 62 - (1854) It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "There will be rulers (whose good deeds) you approve of and (whose bad deeds) you object to. Whoever recognizes (their bad deeds as such) will be free of blame, and whoever objects to (their bad deeds) will also be safe, but whoever approves and follows (is blameworthy)." They said: "Should we not fight them?" He said: "No, not so long as they offer prayers."

Arabic text

62 - (1854) حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ ضَبَّةَ بْنِ مِحْصَنٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ، فَمَنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ، وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ سَلِمَ، وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ» قَالُوا: أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ؟ قَالَ: «لَا، مَا صَلَّوْا»
