2190. 'Abdullāh narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, after me you will see preferential treatment, and matters that you dislike." They said: "Then what do you command us [O Messenger of Allāh!]" He said: "Give them their rights, and ask Allāh for yours.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣahīh.
٢١٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ بَعْدِي أَثَرَةً» وَأُمُورًا تُنْكِرُونَهَا، قَالُوا: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: أَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ حَقَّهُمْ وَسَلُوا اللهَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Ḥadīth confirms that even if the rulers do not deliver the subjects their rights, fail to establish justice in the society, and indulge in unsavory acts (provided they do not openly commit acts of disbelief), let no one try to make a revolt against them. That is to say, no wars be waged against them that could trigger a civil strife in the society.
