Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ الْقُشَيْرِيُّ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِّ قَالَ إِنَّا لَقُعُودٌ عَلَى بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَنْتَظِرُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ لِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ اسْمَعُوا فَقُلْنَا سَمِعْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْمَعُوا فَقُلْنَا سَمِعْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ فَلَا تُعِينُوهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ فَلَنْ يَرِدَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
English Translation
Rawh told us, Abu Yunus al-Qushayri told us, from Simak ibn Harb, from 'Abdullah ibn Khabbab ibn al-Aratt: My father Khabbab ibn al-Aratt told me, he said: We were sitting at the door of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, waiting for him to come out for the noon prayer, when he came out to us and said: "Listen." We said: "We have listened." Then he said again: "Listen." We said: "We have listened." Then he said: "There will be rulers over you; do not assist them in their oppression. Whoever believes their lies and confirms them in their falsehood will never come to me at the Basin."
