✧ The leaders are from Quraysh: their righteous ones are rulers over their righteous, and their wicked ones are rulers over their wicked. Each has a right, so give everyone with a right his due. If an Ethiopian slave with mutilated limbs is appointed over you, listen to him and obey as long as none of you is forced to choose between his Islam and the striking of his neck. If he is forced to choose between his Islam and the striking of his neck, let him stretch forth his neck, may his mother be bereft of him, for there is no worldly life or Hereafter after losing his Islam [his religion].

يَا كَعْبُ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ، إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ وَصَفَهُمْ بِالْجَوْرِ، فَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى فُجُورِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ، وَلَا يَرِدُ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى فُجُورِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ، وَيَرِدُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ، يَا كَعْبُ: حَقٌّ لِلَحْمٍ نَبَتَ مِنْ سُحْتٍ أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ، النَّارُ أَوْلَى بِهِ
✧ O Ka'b b. 'Ujrah, after me there will be rulers whom he described as unjust. Whoever enters upon them, believes their lies, and helps them in their wickedness is not of me and I am not of him, and he will not come to me at the Basin. Whoever does not enter upon them, does not believe their lies, and does not help them in their wickedness is of me and I am of him, and he will come to the Basin. O Ka'b: it is right that flesh that grew from ill-gotten gain should not enter Paradise; the Fire is more fitting for it.
