Hadith 12106

عَنْ أُمِّ الْحُصَيْنِ الْأَحْمَسِيَّةِ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ بِعَرَفَاتٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ ”وَلَوِ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ يَقُودُكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا“ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ إِنِّي لَأَرَى لَهُ السَّمْعَ وَالطَّاعَةَ فِي الْعُسْرِ وَالْيُسْرِ وَالْمَنْشَطِ وَالْمَكْرَهِ
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Husayn Ahmasiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivering a sermon at Arafat: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a slave is appointed as your ruler and he leads and guides you according to the Book of Allah, then listen to him and obey him. Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad says: My father said: I believe that whether it is difficult or easy, in happiness or compulsion, in every situation, one must listen to the ruler and obey him.
