Chapter: On the
obligation to obey those in authority as long as it is not a wrong action, and
the prohibition against obeying them in an act of rebellion against
Allah

Allah Almighty says, "O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey
the Messenger, and those in command among you." (W4:58;
H4:59)

663. Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "A Muslim man must hear and obey both in respect of
what he likes and dislikes, unless he is commanded to do a wrong action. If he
is commanded to do a wrong action, he should not hear or obey." [Agreed upon]

664. Ibn 'Umar said, "When we used to give allegiance to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to hear and obey, he would say
to us, 'In so far as you are able.'" [Agreed upon]

665. Ibn 'Umar said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'Anyone who removes his hand from obedience will meet
Allah on the Day of Rising with no proof. Anyone who dies without having given
the oath of allegiance will die the death of the Jahiliyya.'" [Muslim]

In a variant of his, "Whoever dies split off from the community will die the
death of Jahiliyya."

666. Anas said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Hear and obey, even if an Abyssinian slave with a head like a
raisin is appointed over you." [al-Bukhari]

667. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "You must hear and obey both in your hardship and
your ease and with regard to what pleases you and what you dislike and even if
you do not get your due." [Muslim]

668. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr said, "Once we were with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, on a journey and we halted to pitch camp.
Some of us were mending wool tents and some of us were shooting arrows against
one another, and some of us were with their camels. Then the caller of the
Messenger of Allah called out, 'The prayer will be done together.' So we
gathered round the Messenger of Allah and he said, 'There was no Prophet before
me but that it was a duty for him to direct his community to a good that he knew
for them and to warn them against an evil that he knew for them. The well-being
of this community of mine has been put at its beginning while the last of it
will be afflicted by trials and matters which you dislike. Seditions will come
and each will seem worse than the one before it. A sedition will come and the
believer will say, "This is my destruction," and then it will depart. And
another sedition will come and the believer will say, "This is it! This is it!."
Anyone who wants to be removed from the Fire and to enter the Garden and to have
death come to him while he believes in Allah and the Last Day should give to
other people what he wants to be given to himself. Whoever gives allegiance to
an Imam, let him give it with the clasp of his hand and the core of his heart.
Let him obey him if he can. If another comes to depose him then strike the neck
of that other.'" [Muslim]

669. Abu Hunayda Wa'il ibn Hujr said, "Salama ibn Yazid al-Ju'fi asked the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'O
Prophet of Allah! What is your opinion if amirs are put in charge of us who ask
us for their rights and deny us our rights? What do you command us to do?' He
turned from him. Then he asked him and the Messenger of Allah said, 'Hear and
obey. They owe what they are charged with and you owe what you are charged
with." [Muslim]

670. 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'After I am gone there will be misappropriation and
matters of which you disapprove.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you
command us to do?' He said, 'To fulfil the rights you owe to others and to ask
Allah for what is owed to you.'" [Agreed upon]

671. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'Whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah and whoever disobeys me has
disobeyed Allah. Whoever obeys the amir has obeyed me and whoever disobeys the
amir has disobeyed me.'" [Agreed upon]

672. Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "Anyone who
dislikes something from his amir should be patient. Anyone who abandons
obedience to the amir for even a short time dies the death of the Jahiliyya."
[Agreed upon]

673. Abu Bakra said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'Anyone who demeans the Sultan will be demeaned by
Allah.'" [at-Tirmidhi]
