 Ù‚َالَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا بِشَرٍّ فَجَاءَ اللَّهُ بِخَيْرٍ فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ فَهَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ هَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ خَيْرٌ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَهَلْ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ شَرٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي أَئِمَّةٌ لاَ يَهْتَدُونَ بِهُدَاىَ وَلاَ يَسْتَنُّونَ بِسُنَّتِي وَسَيَقُومُ فِيهِمْ رِجَالٌ قُلُوبُهُمْ قُلُوبُ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِي جُثْمَانِ إِنْسٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ تَسْمَعُ وَتُطِيعُ لِلأَمِيرِ وَإِنْ ضُرِبَ ظَهْرُكَ وَأُخِذَ مَالُكَ فَاسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ ‏"‏ رواه مسلم ( ١٨٤٧ ). 

On the authority of Hudhaifah bn Al-Yamaan (radhiyal Laahu 'anh) who said:

O Messenger of Allah, no doubt, we had an evil time (i. e. the days of Jahiliyya or ignorance) and  Allah brought us a good time (i. e. Islamic period) through which we are now living Will there be a bad time after this good time? 

He (the Prophet) said: Yes.

 I said: Will there be a good time after this bad time? 

He said: Yes. 

I said: Will there be a bad time after good time? 

He said: Yes. 

I said: How? 

Whereupon he said: ' There will be leaders who will not be led by my guidance and who will not adopt my ways? There will be among them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of human beings.' 

I said: What should I do. Messenger of Allah, if I (happen) to live in that time?

He replied: 'You should listen to the Amir and carry out his orders; even if your back is flogged and your wealth is snatched, you should listen and obey '.
