from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said: “The best of your leaders are those whom you love and who love you, who pray for you and you pray for them. And the worst of your leaders are those whom you hate and who hate you, whom you curse and who curse you.”
It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, should we not oppose them with the sword?” He said: “No, for as long as they establish the prayer among you. And if you see from your rulers something you dislike, then dislike their action, but do not withdraw your hand from obedience.”
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «خِيَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ وَتَلْعَنُونَهُمْ وَيَلْعَنُونَكُمْ»،
قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلاَ نُنَابِذُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ مَا أَقَامُوا فِيكُمُ الصَّلاَةَ، وَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْ وُلاَتِكُمْ شَيْئًا تَكْرَهُونَهُ فَاكْرَهُوا عَمَلَهُ وَلاَ تَنْزِعُوا يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ».
