قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ثَنَا النَّضْرُ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ، [يَقُولُ]:
إِنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ ؓ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا [كَانَ] قَامَ عَلَيْنَا أَئِمَّةٌ يَسْأَلُونَنَا حَقَّهُمْ وَيَمْنَعُونَنَا حَقَّنَا ؟ فَسَكَتَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا. فَحَدَّثَ بِهِ الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: اسْمَعُوا وَأَطِيعُوا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِمْ مَا حُمِّلُوا، وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْ ".

✧ Salama b. Yazid ؓ asked the Messenger of God ﷺ, saying: "What do you think if rulers are appointed over us who demand their rights from us and deny us our rights?" He remained silent two or three times. Then al-Ash'ath b. Qays narrated it and said: "The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'Listen and obey, for upon them is what they are burdened with, and upon you is what you are burdened with.'"
