Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the statement of Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "Once, at midday, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was somewhat troubled. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'As long as I am among you, obey me; and it is obligatory upon you (to follow) the Book of Allah: treat as lawful what it makes lawful and treat as unlawful what it makes unlawful.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
