Mansoor Ibn Abil Aswad (rahimahullaah) said: ”I asked Al-Amash (rahimahullaah) what he has heard stated about the statement of Allaah: ”And thus We do make the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.) Auliya’ (supporters and helpers) one to another (in committing crimes etc.), because of that which they used to earn.’’ [Al-An’aam: Ayah:129]  He (Al-AMash) said: ”when the people become corrupt, the most evil amongst them are made to rule over them.” [Hilyatul awliyaa 5/50-51]
