أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ:
يَا أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تُخَلَّفَ بَعْدِي فَأَطِعِ الْإِمَامَ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا، إِنْ ضَرَبَكَ فَاصْبِرْ، وَإِنْ أَمَرَكَ بِأَمْرٍ فَاصْبِرْ، وَإِنْ حَرَمَكَ فَاصْبِرْ، وَإِنْ ظَلَمَكَ فَاصْبِرْ، وَإِنْ أَمَرَكَ بِأَمْرٍ يَنْقُصُ دِينَكَ فَقُلْ: سَمْعٌ وَطَاعَةٌ، دَمِي دُونَ دِينِي

O Abū Umayyah, perhaps you will be left behind after me. Obey the leader even if he is an Abyssinian slave. If he strikes you, be patient; if he commands you with a command, be patient; if he deprives you, be patient; if he wrongs you, be patient. And if he commands you with a command that diminishes your religion, then say: "Hearing and obedience; my blood is before my religion."
