حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ رَقَبَةَ بْنِ مَصْقَلَةَ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ سُفَهَاءُ، يُقَدِّمُونَ شِرَارَ النَّاسِ، وَيُؤَخِّرُونَ خِيَارَهُمْ، وَيُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا، فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ عَرِيفًا، وَلَا شُرَطِيًّا، وَلَا جَابِيًا، وَلَا خَايِنًا ".

✧ There will come upon people a time when rulers over you will be fools; they will advance the worst of people and delay the best of them, and delay the prayer from its times. Whoever of you reaches that should never be an arif, nor a policeman, nor a tax collector, nor a traitor.
