Do you know the meaning of the term Ruwaybidah?
The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) said:
"There shall come deceptive years. The truthful shall be deemed liars, while the liars shall be believed. The honest shall be deemed dishonest, while the dishonest shall be deemed honest. (And) the Ruwaybidah will speak in these times."
The companions may Allaah be pleased with them asked:
"What is Ruwaybidah O Messenger of Allaah?"
He replied: "It is an insignificant man who shall speak on behalf of the general masses." [Ahmad and Ibn Maajah].
Therefore, the term "Ruwaybidah" applies to these ignorant people who speak about great matters of Muslims.

Ahmad (2/291) Ibn Maajah (4042), and Al-Haakim (4/465).
In As-Saheeh (1787), Albaani declared that it is an authentic Hadith.
