[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Verily, Allah is pleased with three things for you and dislikes three things for you. He is pleased that you worship Him and do not associate anything with Him, that you hold fast to the rope of Allah all together and do not separate, and that you advise whoever is in charge of your affairs. He dislikes that you spread gossip, indulge in excessive questioning, and waste wealth." Atta' bin Yazid al-Laythi reported that he heard Tamim ad-Dari say, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, 'Verily, religion is sincere advice.' We asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, to whom?' He said, 'To Allah, His Book, His Messengers, and the leaders of the Muslims and their common people.'" Muslim narrated the first hadith in Sahih from Zuhayr ibn Harb and others from Jarir.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْضَى لَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا رَضِيَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِه شَيْئًا وَأَنْ تَعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَأَنْ تُنَاصِحُوا مَنْ وَلَّى اللهُ أَمَرَكُمْ وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ قَالَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيُّ سَمِعْتُ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ ؓ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ قَالَ لِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ أَخْرَجَ مُسْلِمٌ الْحَدِيثَ الْأَوَّلَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Verily, the religion is sincerity. Verily, the religion is sincerity. Verily, the religion is sincerity." It was asked, "To whom, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common people."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ إِنَّمَا الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ إِنَّمَا الدِّين النَّصِيحَةُ فَقِيلَ لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Glorifying Allah involves showing honour to a grey-haired Muslim and to one who can expound the Qur'an, but not to one who acts extravagantly regarding it, or turns away from it, and showing honour to a just ruler. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4843)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللهِ ﷻ إِكْرَامَ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَحَامِلَ الْقُرْآنِ غَيْرَ الْغَالِي فِيهِ وَلَا الْجَافِي عَنْهُ وَإِكْرَامَ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْمُقْسِطِ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَوْفٍ فَوَقَفَهُ  

[Machine] Mirdas, Abu Bilal, don't you see the leader of the people and their master wearing the garment of the righteous and resembling the corrupt? So Abu Bakra heard him and said to his son Al-Usaili, "Invite Abu Bilal for me." So he called him and Abu Bakra said, "Indeed, I have heard your statement about the leader earlier, and I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever honors the authority of Allah, Allah will honor him, and whoever humiliates the authority of Allah, Allah will humiliate him.'"  

مِرْدَاسٌ أَبُو بِلَالٍ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ النَّاسِ وَسَيِّدِهِمْ يَلْبَسُ الرِّقَاقَ وَيَتَشَبَّهُ بِالْفُسَّاقِ فَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرَةٍ فَقَالَ لِابْنِهِ الْأُصَيْلِعِ ادْعُ لِي أَبَا بِلَالٍ فَدَعَاهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةٍ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَقَالَتَكَ لِلْأَمِيرِ آنِفًا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَكْرَمَ سُلْطَانَ اللهِ أَكْرَمَهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ أَهَانَ سُلْطَانَ اللهِ أَهَانَهُ اللهُ  

[Machine] That 'Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Ash'ari met a man when he entered a house. Hisham bin Hakim came to him and spoke harshly to him. Hisham stayed with him for a few nights, then came and apologized to him, saying, "O 'Iyad, did you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The severest of people in punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be those severest in punishment to the people in this worldly life'?" 'Iyad replied, "O Hisham, we have heard what you have heard, seen what you have seen, and accompanied those you have accompanied. Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever possesses advice for a ruler, let him not speak of it in public or address it directly to him. Rather, let him take hold of his hand (emphasizing humility) and convey the advice to him. If he accepts it, then it is good. Otherwise, he has fulfilled his duty towards Allah and towards him.' Also, Hisham, are you not bold enough to dare speak to the ruler of Allah (referring to Hisham's boldness towards 'Iyad)? Why then do you not fear that the ruler of Allah may kill you, making you the killer of the ruler of Allah?" Their conversation ended on equal terms.  

أَنَّ عِيَاضَ بْنَ غَنْمٍ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ وَقَعَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ دَارٍ حِينَ فُتِحَتْ فَأَتَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ فَأَغْلَظَ لَهُ الْقَوْلَ وَمَكَثَ هِشَامٌ لَيَالِيَ فَأَتَاهُ هِشَامٌ يَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ يَا عِيَاضُ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا لِلنَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيَاضٌ يَا هِشَامُ إِنَّا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ وَرَأَيْنَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ وَصَحِبْنَا مَنْ صَحِبْتَ أَوَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ يَا هِشَامُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ نَصِيحَةٌ لِذِي سُلْطَانٍ فَلَا يُكَلِّمْهُ بِهَا عَلَانِيَةً وَلْيَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَلْيَخْلُ بِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَهَا قَبِلَهَا وَإِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَالَّذِي لَهُ وَإِنَّكَ يَا هِشَامُ لَأَنْتَ الْجَرِيءُ أَنْ يَجْتَرِئَ عَلَى سُلْطَانِ اللهِ فَهَلَّا خَشِيتَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَكَ سُلْطَانُ اللهِ؛ فَتَكُونَ قَتِيلَ سُلْطَانِ اللهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ
