Volume 5, Book 58, Number 144:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle (in his fatal illness) came out wrapped in a sheet covering his shoulders and his
head was tied with an oily tape of cloth till he sat on the pulpit, and after praising and glorifying Al –
lah, he said, "Then-after, O people! The people will go on increasing, but the Ansar will go on de –
creasing till they become just like salt in a meal. So whoever amongst you will be the ruler and have
the power to harm or benefit others, should accept the good of the good-doers amongst them and
excuse the wrong-doers amongst them."
