Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3709 — Surah al-Zukhruf

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Junadah bin Abi Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived at al-Jabiyah, he asked Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Mu'adh! What is the firm foundation and the essential bond of this matter (of religion and state)?" He replied: "O Commander of the Believers! It is sincerity of intention for Allah and obedience to Him." Then Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "There are three deeds; whoever does even one of them has become a criminal: whoever raises a banner unjustly (in support of falsehood), or whoever disobeys his mother, or whoever walks with an oppressor in order to help him; such a person has indeed committed a crime." Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "Indeed, We will take retribution from the criminals" [Surah al-Sajdah: 22].
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' related it; its chain contains Abd al-Aziz bin Ubaydullah, who is a weak narrator, and there is criticism of Isma'il bin Ayyash's narrations from non-Syrians.
