The Prophet said, "This matter began with the prophethood and mercy, then mercy and the Caliphate, followed by a voracious kingdom, followed by arrogance and tyranny."
Nebigu wuxuu yidhi, "Arintan waxay bilaabeen la Nabinnimo iyo naxariis, markaas naxariis iyo khilafada, waxaana ku xiga boqortooyo voracious, raaceen Kibriyaan iyo arxan-darrada."
