أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ قَرَظَةَ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«خِيَارُكُمْ وَخِيَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشِرَارُكُمْ وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ وَتَلْعَنُونَهُمْ وَيَلْعَنُونَكُمْ» قِيلَ أَفَلَا نُنَابِذُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا مَا أَقَامُوا الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ أَلَا وَمَنْ لَهُ وَالٍ فَيَرَاهُ يَأْتِي شَيْئًا مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَلْيَكْرَهْ مَا يَأْتِي مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَنْزِعْ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَتِهِ»

✧ “The best of you and the best of your leaders are those whom you love and who love you, and you pray for them and they pray for you. The worst of you and the worst of your leaders are those whom you hate and who hate you, and you curse them and they curse you.” It was said, “Shall we not oppose them, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “No, as long as they establish the five prayers. Indeed, whoever has a ruler and sees him committing an act of disobedience to Allah, let him hate the act of disobedience to Allah he commits and not withdraw his hand from obedience to him.”
