Indeed, there was no prophet before me except that it was his duty to guide his nation to the best of what he taught them and warn them of the evil of what he taught them. And for this nation of yours, he placed its well-being at its beginning, and its end will be afflicted with affliction and things that you deny. And tribulations will come, one of which will strengthen the other. And tribulations will come, and the believer will say, “This is my destruction.” Then they will be revealed, and temptations will come, and the believer will say, “This is this.” So whoever loves to be removed from Hell and enter Paradise, then his death will come to him while he believes. By God and the Last Day, let him come to the people whom he loves to come to. Whoever pledges allegiance to an imam and gives him the gift of his hand and the fruit of his heart, let him obey him if he can, and if another comes and disputes with him, then strike the other’s neck.

He said, O Prophet of God, what do you think if princes rise up against us asking us for their rights and denying us our rights, then what do you command us to do? Turn away from it. Then he asked him and the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Listen and obey, for they are responsible for what they bear and upon you is what you bear.
فقال يا نبي الله أرأيت إن قامت علينا أمراء يسألونا حقهم ويمنعونا حقنا فما تأمرنا فأعرض عنه ثم سأله فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اسمعوا وأطيعوا فإنما عليهم ما حملوا وعليكم ما حملتم
After me there will be traces and matters that you deny. They said, O Messenger of God, how do you command those of us who realized that? He said, “You will fulfill the right that is upon you and ask God who is yours.”
