Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 15206 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best

حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ رَبِيعَةَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ قَرَظَةَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خِيَارُكُمْ وَخِيَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَشِرَارُكُمْ وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ وَتَلْعَنُونَهُمْ وَيَلْعَنُونَكُمْ» قَالُوا: أَفَلَا نُنَابِذُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا مَا أَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ الْخَمْسَ، إِلَّا مَنْ وَلِيَهُ وَالٍ فَرَآهُ يَأْتِي شَيْئًا مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ، فَلْيَكْرَهْ مَا أَتَى مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللهِ، أَلَا وَلَا تَنْزِعُوا يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ»
Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik al-Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of you and the best of your rulers are those whom you love and who love you, for whom you pray and who pray for you; and the worst of you and the worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you, whom you curse and who curse you." The Companions said: Then should we not rebel against them, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, as long as they establish the five prayers. However, whoever has a ruler over him and sees him committing some disobedience to Allah, let him hate that disobedience. Beware! Do not withdraw your hand from obedience."
