[4785] 52 - (...) Hudhaifah bin Al-Yamân said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, we were in an evil state, then Allâh brought something good, and we are in a [good] state. Will there be any evil after this goodness?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'And will there be any goodness after that evil?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'And will there be any evil after that goodness?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'How?' He said: 'After I am gone, there will be A'immah (leaders) who will not follow my way and will not follow my example. Among them there will be men whose hearts are the hearts of devils in the bodies of men.' I said: 'What should I do, O Messenger of Allâh, if I live to see that?' He said: 'Hear and obey the ruler, even if your back is flogged and your wealth is taken; hear and obey.'" [1848] 53 - [4786] It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever rebels against obedience and splits away from the Jamâ'ah (main body of the Muslims) and dies (in that state) has died a death of Jâhiliyyah. Whoever fights for no real cause, getting angry for the sake of tribalism, calling for tribalism, or supporting tribalism, and is killed, dies in a state of Jâhiliyyah. Whoever rebels against my Ummah, striking righteous and wicked alike, and does not spare the believers, and does not pay attention to anyone who has a covenant of protection with the Muslims, he is not of me and I am not of him."

52 - (1847) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَسْكَرٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّا كُنَّا بِشَرٍّ، فَجَاءَ اللهُ بِخَيْرٍ، فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ، فَهَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قُلْتُ: هَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قُلْتُ: فَهَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي أَئِمَّةٌ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ بِهُدَايَ، وَلَا يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي، وَسَيَقُومُ فِيهِمْ رِجَالٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِي جُثْمَانِ إِنْسٍ»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: «تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِلْأَمِيرِ، وَإِنْ ضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ، وَأُخِذَ مَالُكَ، فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ»
