وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ رَأْسِ السَّبْعِينَ وَإِمَارَةِ الصِّبْيَانِ» . رَوَى الْأَحَادِيثَ السِّتَّةَ أَحْمَدُ وَرَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ حَدِيثَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي «دَلَائِلِ النُّبُوَّة»

Abu Huraira reported God’s Messenger as saying, “Seek refuge in God from the beginning of the year seventy and the governorship exercised by boys.”* Ahmad. *This tradition is direction against some of the Umayyads.
