English Translation

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu Sa'id, from 'Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Makhramiي, from al-Harith ibn Fudayl, from Ja'far ibn 'Abdillah ibn al-Hakam, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Miswar ibn Makhrama, from Abu Rafi' — that Ibn Mas'ud told him: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There has never been a prophet except that he had among his companions disciples [hawariyyun] and companions who followed his footsteps and adhered to his guidance. Then after them came successors — rulers who say what they do not do, and do what they are not commanded."'
