Oppressiveness of the Umayyads:
By Allah! They will continue like this till there will remain no
unlawful act before Allah except that they will make it lawful, nor a
pledge except that they will break it and till there will remain no house of
bricks or of woolen tent but their oppression will enter it. Their bad
dealings will make them wretched, till two groups of crying complainants
will rise. One will cry for his religion and the other for this world and the
help of one of you to one of them will be like the help of a slave to his
master, namely when he is present he obeys him, but when the master is
away he backbites him. The highest among you in distress will be he who
bears best belief about Allah. If Allah grants you safety accept it and if
you are put in trouble endure it because surely (good) result is for the
God-fearing. is (indicative of) the tongue.
