[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will come rulers whose skin will soften and hearts will be reassured by them, and there will be rulers upon you who will cause hearts to be disgusted by them and skin to shudder from them." They said, "Shall we not kill them?" He said, "No, as long as they establish prayer."
