I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we were in evil, then Allah brought good, and we are in it. Is there evil after this good?" He said: "Yes." I said: "And is there good after this evil?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Is there evil after that good?" He said: "Yes." I said: "How will it be?" He said: "After me there will be leaders who do not follow my guidance and do not adopt my sunnah, and among them there will arise men whose hearts are the hearts of devils in the bodies of humans." I said: "What should I do, O Messenger of Allah, if I live to see that?" He said: "You shall hear and obey the leader, even if he strikes your back and takes your wealth; hear and obey."
