Hadith on Ruwaybidah: Ignorant commentators on general affairs

‘Awf ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, before the Hour will be years of deception in which liars are believed and the truthful are belied, the treacherous are trusted and the trustworthy are accused, and during such the disgraceful will comment.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are the disgraceful?” The Prophet said, “The trivial man speaking about the public affairs.”

عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ سِنِينَ خَدَّاعَةً يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ وَيَنْطِقُ فِيهَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ قَالَ الْمَرْؤُ التَّافِهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَامَّةِ
