The Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) gave us a sermon by which our hearts were filled with fear and tears came to our eyes. We said: O Messenger of Allah, it is as though this a farewell sermon, so counsel us. He said: "I counsel you to fear Allah (Azza-wa-Jal) and to give absolute obedience even if a slave becomes your leader. Verily he among you who lives [long] will see great controversy, so you must keep to my sunna and to the sunna of the rightly guided Rashidite Caliphs - cling to them stubbornly. Beware of newly invented matters, for every invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is a going astray."
[It was related by Abû Dâwûd and at-Tirmidhî, who stated it as a Hasan (fair) and Sahih (sound) Hadith.]
