It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There will come such times upon people in which circumstances will change in such a way that the liar will be considered truthful and the truthful will be considered a liar, and the treacherous will be regarded as trustworthy and the trustworthy will be regarded as treacherous, and the most inferior people will speak (regarding the affairs of the common people)." Someone asked, "What is meant by 'al-Ruwaybidah'?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: "It refers to those foolish people who will make decisions by speaking about the affairs of the general public."
