[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us while there were nine of us, and among us were six non-Arabs. He said, "There will be rulers who will be supported by people who believe their lies, help them in their oppression, and fulfill their deceitful plans. Such individuals are not from me, nor am I from them, and they will not come to the Pool (of Paradise)."

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ تِسْعَةٌ وَفِينَا سِتَّةٌ مِنَ الْعَجَمِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ فَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ وَأَمْضَى لَهُمْ مَكْرَهُمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَا أَنَا مِنْهُ وَلَا يَرِدُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ»
