“There will come to the people years of treachery, when the
liar
will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded
as a
liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful
man
will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide
matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile
and
base men who control the affairs of the people.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 111
