Abu Al-Wadaq says that I said to Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), "By Allah! Every ruler who comes to us is worse than the previous one, and every coming year is worse than the last." He replied, "If I had not heard a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I would have said the same, but I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'There will be a caliph among your rulers who will give wealth and riches abundantly without counting the people.' A man will come to him and ask, and he will say to him, 'Take it.' He will spread out a cloth, and the caliph will fill it with wealth with both hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated this by taking off his thick cloak and practically showing how it would be done, then he gathered it together and said, 'That man will take it and go away.'"
