“There will come to the people years of treachery, when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4036)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ سَنَوَاتٌ جَدِعَاتٌ يُصَدَّقُ فِيهَا الْكَاذِبُ وَيُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا الصَّادِقُ وَيُؤْتَمَنُ فِيهَا الْخَائِنُ وَيُخَوَّنُ فِيهَا الْأَمِينُ وَيَنْطِقُ فِيهِمُ الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الرُّوَيْبِضَةُ؟ قَالَ «الرَّجُلُ التَّافِهُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي أَمْرِ الْعَامَّةِ»
