It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will be rulers over you, some of whose actions you will like and some you will dislike. Whoever rejects their wrong actions, he is absolved (i.e., he has fulfilled his responsibility); whoever dislikes their wrong actions, he too is saved (from the displeasure of Allah); but the one who is pleased with their wrong actions and follows them, (he will not be saved from the displeasure of Allah). The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not fight against such rulers? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, not as long as they establish prayer (i.e., perform the five prayers) among you.
