To hear and obey the Prophet ﷺ whether it be in time of ease or difficulty

bukhari:7055 – Ismāʿīl > Ibn Wahb > ʿAmr > Bukayr > Busr b. Saʿīd > Junādah b. Abū Umayyah

We entered upon ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit while he was ill. We said, “May Allah set you aright; relate to us a hadith by which Allah will benefit you: something you heard from the Prophet ﷺ.”

He said: The Prophet ﷺ called us, and we pledged allegiance to him. Among what he took from us in that we pledged allegiance to him was that we pledge to listen and obey in our ease and in our hardship, in what we like and what we dislike, and even when others are favored over us; and that we not dispute the authority with those who possess it unless you see clear disbelief for which you have from Allah a proof.

البخاري:٧٠٥٥ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جُنَادَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ قَالَ

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَهْوَ مَرِيضٌ، قُلْنَا: أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ، حَدِّثْ بِحَدِيثٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، 

قَالَ: دَعَانَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ فَقَالَ: فِيمَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ بَايَعَنَا عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَالطَّاعَةِ فِي مَنْشَطِنَا وَمَكْرَهِنَا وَعُسْرِنَا وَيُسْرِنَا وَأَثَرَةٍ عَلَيْنَا، وَأَنْ لاَ نُنَازِعَ الأَمْرَ أَهْلَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَرَوْا كُفْرًا بَوَاحًا عِنْدَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِيهِ بُرْهَانٌ.

We called upon 'Ubada b. Samit who was ill and said to him: May God give you health I Narrate to us a tradition which God may prove beneficial (to us) and which you have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called us and we took the oath of allegiance to him. Among the injunctions he made binding upon us was: Listening and obedience (to the Amir) in our pleasure and displeasure, in our adversity and prosperity, even when somebody is given preference over us, and without disputing the delegation of powers to a man duly invested with them (Obedience shall be accorded to him in all circumstances) except when you have clear signs of his disbelief in (or disobedience to) God-signs that could be used as a conscientious justification (for non-compliance with his orders).
