Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will be preferential treatment (shown to others over you) and things will appear which you will dislike." The people asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What do you command us to do in such a situation?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fulfill the obligation that is upon you, and ask Allah for your rights."
