The tribulation of the rulers.
Many scholars among the salaf feared this tribulation.
They warned against it.
It is most severe when it affects scholars and callers to Islam.
Its ultimate consequence is the corruption of the religion.
And the concealment of the truth or the veiling of it with falsehood.
For the sake of a fleeting worldly gain.
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
"Whoever approaches the doors of the rulers will be put to trial."
It was recorded by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Ahmad.
And it was authenticated by al-Albani.
