Az-Zubair bin ‘Adi
said:
We went to Anas bin Mâlik رضي الله عنه and
complained to him of suffering at the hands of Al-Hajjâj. He replied: “Show
endurance, for no time will come but will be followed by one worse (than the
present one) till you meet your Rubb, I heard this from your Prophet ﷺ.” [Al-Bukhârî)
Commentary: This Hadîth contains
the prediction that with the passage of time, conditions will become from bad
to worse with the result that the rulers would become more and more cruel. In
such circumstances, the remedy suggested here is that rather than making any
effort to reform the rulers, one should try to reform oneself and worry to make
one’s own life in the Hereafter, and endure patiently the tyrannies perpetrated
by the rulers.
