حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا فَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ قَرَظَةَ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خِيَارُكُمْ وَخِيَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ، وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَشِرَارُكُمْ وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ، وَتَلْعَنُونَهُمْ وَيَلْعَنُونَكُمْ " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَفَلَا نُقَاتِلُهُمْ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، مَا صَلَّوْا لَكُمُ الْخَمْسَ، أَلَا وَمَنْ عَلَيْهِ وَالٍ، فَرَآهُ يَأْتِي شَيْئًا مِنْ مَعَاصِي اللهِ، فَلْيَكْرَهْ مَا أَتَى، وَلَا تَنْزِعُوا يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَتِهِ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) saying: "Your rulers will be those whom you love and they will love you, you will pray for them and they will pray for you. And your worst rulers will be those whom you hate and they will hate you, you will curse them and they will curse you." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should we not depose such rulers?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, as long as they establish prayer. However, if a ruler appoints a governor over you and you see him doing something in disobedience to Allah, then denounce that disobedience, but do not withdraw your hand from his obedience."
