Abu Hurayra said, "When a slave obeys his master, he has obeyed Allah Almighty. When he rebels against his master, he rebels against Allah Almighty."

الأدب المفرد:٢٠٧حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ إِذَا أَطَاعَ سَيِّدَهُ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَإِذَا عَصَى سَيِّدَهُ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
