[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Obey your rulers as long as they command you with what I have conveyed to you, for they will be rewarded for it and you will be rewarded for obeying them. But if they command you with something that I have not commanded you, then it is upon them and you will be free of blame. This is because when you meet Allah, you will say, 'Our Lord, there was no oppression.' And He will say, 'There was no oppression.' And then you will say, 'Our Lord, you sent to us messengers and we obeyed them by Your permission. And You appointed successors over us and we obeyed them by Your permission. And You commanded us to obey our rulers and we obeyed them.' He will say, 'You have spoken the truth, it is upon them and you are free of blame.'"

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Obey your rulers no matter what, for if they order you with something I have brought to you, they will be rewarded for it and you will be rewarded for obeying them. And if they order you with something I have not brought to you, it is their responsibility and you are free from it. This is because when you meet Allah, you will say, "Our Lord, there was no injustice." And He will say, "There is no injustice." So you will say, "Our Lord, You sent messengers to us and we obeyed them by Your permission. And You appointed successors over us and we obeyed them by Your permission. And You commanded us to obey our rulers and we obeyed them for Your sake." Then you will say, "You spoke the truth." It is upon them and you are free from it.'"

"أَطيعُوا أمراءَكُمْ مَهْما كانَ، فإِنْ أَمَرُوكُمْ بِشيءٍ مِمَّا جئْتُكُمْ بِهِ، فإِنَّهُمْ يُؤْجَرُونَ عَلَيه، وتُؤجَرُونَ بِطَاعَتِهمْ؛ وإنْ أَمَرُوكُمْ بشَيْءٍ ممَّا لَمْ آتِكُمْ به، فإِنَّهُ عليهم، وأنْتُمْ منه براءٌ، ذلكم بأنَّكُمْ إذا لِقُيتم الله قُلْتُمْ: ربَّنا لا ظُلْمَ، فيقول: لا ظلم، فيقولون: ربَّنا أرْسلْتَ إلينا رُسلًا، فأطَعْناهم بإِذْنِكَ، واسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَينْا خُلَفَاءَ، فَأَطَعْنَاهُم بإِذْنِكِ، وَأَمَّرْتَ عَلينا أُمَرَاءَ، فأَطَعْنَاهُم لَكَ؛ فيقولُ: صَدَقْتُمْ هُوَ عَلَيهِمْ، وأنتم مِنْهُ بَرَاءٌ".
