الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Ka'ab bin 'Ujrah, may Allah protect you from the rulers who come after me, whoever enters upon them and believes in their lies, and supports them in their injustice, is not from me and I am not from him, and he will not come to the pond (in Paradise)."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ أَعَاذَكَ اللهُ مِنْ أُمَرَاءَ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ وَلَنْ يَرِدُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ»

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us, and there were nine of us. He said; 'After me there will be rulers, whoever believes in their lies and helps them in their wrongdoing is not of me, and I am not of him, and he will not come to me at the Cistern. Whoever does not believe their lies and does not help them in their wrongdoing, he is of me, and I am of hi, and he will come to me at the Cistern."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4207)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There will come rulers upon you who will command you to do something they themselves do not do. Whoever believes in their lies and supports them in their injustice, he is not from me and I am not from him. And he will not meet me at the pond."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah, "O Ka'b ibn Ujrah, I seek refuge with Allah for you from the governance of fools." Ka'b asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the governance of fools?" He said, "It is to have rulers who will come after me, those who will enter upon them and believe their lies, and assist them in their oppression. They are not from me, and I am not from them, and they will not meet me by the Pool." Adh-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the summary.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "May Allah protect you from rulers who come after me." The companion asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Those who come to them and believe in them and help them in their injustice are not from me, and they will not reach my pool (of water on the Day of Judgment)." Sahih.
