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.'"
