Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will come rulers over you who will make the worst people among the people their close associates. They will delay the prayer from its prescribed time. Whoever among you lives in their time, let him not become a government official, soldier, employee, or treasurer."
