In the near future there will be Amirs and you will like their good deeds and dislike their bad deeds. One who sees through their bad deeds (and tries to prevent their repetition by his band or through his speech), is absolved from blame, but one who hates their bad deeds (in the heart of his heart, being unable to prevent their recurrence by his hand or his tongue), is (also) fafe ( so far as God's wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ قَالُوا أَفَلاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ لاَ مَا صَلَّوْا  

Amirs will be appointed over you, and you will find them doing good as well as bad deeds. One who hates their bad deeds is absolved from blame. One who disapproves of their bad deeds is (also) safe (so far as Divine wrath is concerned). But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them (is doomed). People asked: Messenger of Allah, shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayer. (" Hating and disapproving" refers to liking and disliking from the heart.)  

عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُسْتَعْمَلُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ فَتَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ لاَ مَا صَلَّوْا أَىْ مَنْ كَرِهَ بِقَلْبِهِ وَأَنْكَرَ بِقَلْبِهِ  

"Indeed there shall come upon you A'immah whom you like (what they do) and some (of what they do) you dislike. So whoever rejects, then he is innocent, and whoever loathes, then he is safe. But whoever is pleased and follows." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall we fight them?" He said: "No, as long as they offer Salat."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ تَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نُقَاتِلُهُمْ قَالَ لاَ مَا صَلَّوْا

But whoever is pleased and follows." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall we fight them?" He said: "No, as long as they offer Salat." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2265)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَيَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ تَعْرِفُونَ وَتُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ فَقَدْ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَغِبَ وَتَابَعَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ؟قَالَ لَا مَا صَلَّوْا الصَّلَاةَ

But one who approves of their bad deeds and imitates them is spiritually ruined. People asked (the Holy Prophet): Shouldn't we fight against them? He replied: No, as long as they say their prayers. (Using translation from Muslim 1854a)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَيَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ يَعْرِفُونَ وَيُنْكِرُونَ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَ سَلِمَ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ رَضِيَ وَتَابَعَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَفَلَا نَقَتُلُ فُجَّارَهُمْ؟ قَالَ لَا مَا صَلَّوْا  

"ستَكُونُ أُمراءُ، فَتعْرِفُون، وتُنْكِرونَ، فَمنْ عَرَفَ بَرِئَ، ومن أَنْكَر سلِم، ولكن منْ رَضِىَ وتَابَعَ، قَالُوا: أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُم؟ قَال: لَا، ما صَلُّوا".  

"إِنَّهَ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمِ أَئِمَّةٌ تعرفُونَ وَتُذْكِرُونَ فمنْ أنكر فَقَد برئَ وَمَنْ كَرهَ فقدْ سَلِمَ ولَكِنْ مَنْ رَضى وتابَعَ، قيَل يا رسولَ اللَّه: أفَلا نُقَاتِلُهُمَ، قال لا مَا صَلَّوا ".  

"عن أم سلمة قالت: قال رسول الله ﷺ يقوم عليكم أئِمَّةٌ تعرفون وتنكرون، فمن أنكر فقد نجا، ومن كره فقد سلم، ولكن من رضي وبايع قيل يا رسول الله: أفلا نقتلهم أو نقاتلهم؟ قال: أما ما صلوا الصلاة فلا".
