Note 1

the worst of them will be set

(1) His statement: “the worst of them will be set” means the oppressors of the nation, and “over the best of them” means the oppressed. The commentators said: This Hadith is among the proofs of his prophethood, as he foretold the unseen, and his report matched reality. When they conquered the lands of Persia and Rome, took their wealth and luxuries, and enslaved their children, Allah set the killers of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) over them until they killed him, then set the Umayyads over the Hashemites, who did what they did, and so on.
