باب وجوب طاعة ولاة الأمور في غير معصية
وتحريم طاعتهم في المعصية
وعن ابن عباسٍ رضي اللَّه عنهما أن رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « من كَرِه مِنْ أَمِيرِهِ شيْئاً فَليَصبِر ، فإنَّهُ مَن خَرج مِنَ السُّلطَانِ شِبراً مَاتَ مِيتَةً جاهِلِيةً » متفقٌ عليه .

Obligation of Obedience to the Ruler in what is Lawful and Prohibition of Obeying them in what is Unlawful
Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "If a person notices in his ruler what he dislikes, he should show patience because he who departs from the (Muslim) community a cubit, dies like those who died in the Days of Ignorance."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith urges us to bear patiently when a ruler makes a mistake so long as he does not call to a sin. It also warns us against disobedience to the ruler as this will cause mischief at the cost of the unity and common interests of the Muslim community.
