قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ، ثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْشَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُكْمِلٍ، عَنْ أَزْهَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ:
أَقْبَلَ عُبَادَةُ حَاجًّا مِنَ الشَّامِ، فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَتَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَقَالَ: أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى. قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يَأْمُرُونَكُمْ بِمَا تَعْرِفُونَ، وَيَعْمَلُونَ بِمَا تُنْكِرُونَ فَلَيْسَ لِأُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَاعَةٌ ".

✧ 'Ubada came as a pilgrim from Syria. He arrived in Madinah and went to 'Uthman b. 'Affan ؓ and said: 'Shall I not tell you something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "There will be rulers over you who command you to do what you recognize and they themselves do what you disapprove of. Those have no right to obedience."'
