Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Surely, there will be rulers after me who tell lies and commit oppression. Whoever affirms their lies and advises them in their wrongdoing, then he is not part of me and I am not part of him. Whoever does not affirm their lies, nor advise them in their wrongdoing, then he is part of me and I am part of him. Verily, the Muslim whose blood is shed is an expiation for him. Verily, the glorification of Allah, the praise of Allah, the declaration there is no God but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, these righteous deeds will endure.”

عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ يَكْذِبُونَ وَيَظْلِمُونَ فَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَمَالَأَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَا أَنَا مِنْهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَلَمْ يُمَالِئْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ دَمَ الْمُسْلِمِ كَفَّارَتُهُ أَلَا وَإِنَّ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ هُنَّ الْبَاقِيَاتُ الصَّالِحَاتُ
