Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9125

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ ؟ " قَالُوا : بَلَى نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَأَنَّ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ طَاعَتِي ؟ " قَالُوا : بَلَى نَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَكَ وَمِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ طَاعَتُكَ . قَالَ : " فَإِنَّ مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُطِيعُونِي وَمِنْ طَاعَتِي أَنْ تُطِيعُوا أُمَرَاءَكُمْ ، أَطِيعُوا أُمَرَاءَكُمْ فَإِنْ صَلُّوا قُعُودًا فَصَلُّوا قُعُودًا " .
رَوَاهُ أَبُو يَعْلَى وَأَحْمَدُ بِنَحْوِهِ بِاخْتِصَارٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ : " أَئِمَّتَكُمْ " بَدَلَ : " أُمَرَائَكُمْ " .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once he was among some Companions when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them. He said: "Do you not know that I am the Messenger of Allah to you?" We said: "Yes, you are the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you not know that whoever obeys me has obeyed Allah Almighty, for obeying me is part of obeying Allah Almighty?" The people said: "Yes, we bear witness that whoever obeys Allah Almighty will obey you as well, and obeying you is part of obeying Allah Almighty." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Part of obeying Allah Almighty is that you obey me, and part of obeying me is that you obey your commanders (umara'). Obey your commanders; if they pray sitting, then you too should pray sitting."
This narration has been recorded by Imam Abu Ya'la. Imam Ahmad recorded a similar narration in abridged form; however, he narrated the word "a'immah" (leaders) in place of the word "umara'" (commanders).
