Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After me, some rulers will be imposed over you; a righteous person will be your ruler along with his righteousness, and a sinner will be your ruler along with his sins. You must obey and follow them in that which is in accordance with the truth, and continue to perform prayers behind them. If they do good, you will receive your reward and they will receive theirs, and if they do evil, you will receive your reward and they will bear their sin."
