It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people said to him: Speak to this man (Uthman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him) on our behalf! He said: We have spoken to him, short of opening a door of which we would be the first to open, and I do not say about anyone, "Your leaders are the best of you," after something I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The governor (ruler) who used to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will be brought, then it will be commanded that he be taken to the Fire, and he will be thrown into it, and his intestines will spill out, and he will go around in them just as a donkey goes around a millstone. Then those people who used to obey him will come to him and say to him: 'O so-and-so! Where is that (good) which you used to command us?!' He will say: 'I used to command you to one thing and myself do the opposite.'" This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
