It is narrated from Hasan that Allah appoints a king only for the help of His servants and for His religion. What will be the state of the one who oppresses Allah’s servants and makes them his slaves, and then that king decides over people’s lives and wealth as he wishes? By Allah, no one even forbids him. By Allah, I have never seen a trial after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the Ummah has faced, greater than the trial and humiliation it faced after him.

It is narrated from Hammam: A man from among the People of the Book came to the service of Hazrat Umar and said, "Peace be upon you, O King of the Arabs." Hazrat Umar replied, "Do you find it written like this in your book? Do you not find it written that first there will be a Prophet, then a Caliph, then Ameer-ul-Momineen, and after that, there will be a king?" The man from the People of the Book said, "It is exactly so."

It is narrated from Abdullah that he mentioned a person, then he said that greed destroyed him and inner evils destroyed him.

It is narrated from Abu Burdah bin Niyar that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The world will not come to an end until it reaches a person who is himself ignoble and whose father is also ignoble (that is, such a degraded person who is not worthy of precedence, who has neither any lineage nor any connection with the knowledge of jurisprudence).

Sa’d bin Ibrahim narrates that he heard from his father, who said: I saw Abdur Rahman bin Auf in the month of May 8, in such a state that his head was shaved and he was weeping, saying: I do not fear that I will remain alive until the martyrdom of Hazrat Uthman.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr: We have seen in the Book of Allah, the Lord of Might, two types of people in the Fire. One is a people who will be in the last era; they will have whips like the tails of cows, with which they will beat people without any crime. They will only put wicked things (such as bribes, etc.) into their bellies. The second type is those women who do not wear clothes, are naked, are inclined (towards men) and make others inclined (towards themselves). They will not enter Paradise, nor will they smell the fragrance of Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abbas that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will be such rulers among you whom you will recognize and upon whom you will object. Whoever fights against them will attain salvation, and whoever joins them will be destroyed.

It is narrated from Nu'man bin Bashir that when it was suggested to send police officers to remove corruption from the land, Ka'b al-Ahbar said: "Wait, do not do this, because it is in the Book of Allah that there will be a people called 'Amlah' (police and the like). In their hands will be whips like the tails of cows; they will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise. So do not be the first to send them." Nu'man says they did exactly that. The narrator says: I asked Yahya, "Who are the 'Amlah'?" He replied, "In Iraq, you call them 'Shurti' (policeman)."

40546 - He said: (So he did) (1), so I said to Yahya: What is "al-amalah"? He said: You (call them) (2) in Iraq "al-shurta" (the police/guards).

It is narrated from Khalifa bin Saad that I saw Hazrat Uthman walking on one of the streets of Madinah, and he was saying: "Continue to enjoin good and forbid evil before your wicked people are set over you. Then your best people will pray against them, but their prayers will not be accepted. Then hardship will weigh heavily upon them, and they will be seized by their arms." Then he said: "I will not die until I am overtaken by the leadership of young boys."
