Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 3434a
✧ Hamza with Dad
"أَطيعُوا أمراءَكُمْ مَهْما كانَ، فإِنْ أَمَرُوكُمْ بِشيءٍ مِمَّا جئْتُكُمْ بِهِ، فإِنَّهُمْ يُؤْجَرُونَ عَلَيه، وتُؤجَرُونَ بِطَاعَتِهمْ؛ وإنْ أَمَرُوكُمْ بشَيْءٍ ممَّا لَمْ آتِكُمْ به، فإِنَّهُ عليهم، وأنْتُمْ منه براءٌ، ذلكم بأنَّكُمْ إذا لِقُيتم الله قُلْتُمْ: ربَّنا لا ظُلْمَ، فيقول: لا ظلم، فيقولون: ربَّنا أرْسلْتَ إلينا رُسلًا، فأطَعْناهم بإِذْنِكَ، واسْتَخْلَفْتَ عَلَينْا خُلَفَاءَ، فَأَطَعْنَاهُم بإِذْنِكِ، وَأَمَّرْتَ عَلينا أُمَرَاءَ، فأَطَعْنَاهُم لَكَ؛ فيقولُ: صَدَقْتُمْ هُوَ عَلَيهِمْ، وأنتم مِنْهُ بَرَاءٌ".

"Obey your rulers, whoever they are. If they command you with something of what I have brought you, they will be rewarded for it and you will be rewarded for your obedience. And if they command you with something I did not bring you, it is upon them, and you are free from it. That is because when you meet Allah you will say: 'Our Lord, there is no injustice.' He will say: 'There is no injustice.' They will say: 'Our Lord, You sent to us messengers, and we obeyed them by Your permission; and You appointed over us caliphs, and we obeyed them by Your permission; and You appointed over us rulers, and we obeyed them for You.' He will say: 'You have spoken truly. It is upon them, and you are free from it.'"
