Explanation:
1:
In this hadith, encouragement is being given to obey the leader (amir) and to remain under his authority, and an order is being given to avoid every such action from which there is a fear of the emergence of tribulation (fitnah) and the disruption of the unity of the Muslims.

(1) Since, generally in society, a slave is considered inferior, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave an emphatic and exaggerated command that if the leader of the Muslims appoints a slave—and that too an Abyssinian slave, who is usually not attractive or appealing—as a subordinate leader or imam, then obedience and compliance to him is just as obligatory as it is to a free man. In this obedience, there is no difference due to freedom or slavery.

(2) From this blessed hadith, it is also understood that freedom is not a condition for becoming an imam or leader; it is not necessary that only a free person can become an imam or leader. With the permission of his master, a slave can also become an imam or leader. In such a case, the slave is not merely a slave, but also a rightful imam, and therefore, obedience to him will also be obligatory.

(3) This issue is understood: any imam, leader, or leader of the Muslims is only obligatory to obey as long as he gives commands according to the Book and the Sunnah, leads people according to Islamic law, and himself remains bound by the Shariah. However, if any leader wants to enforce obedience merely to his own desires in opposition to the Book and the Sunnah, then in that case, he is absolutely not deserving of obedience, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: [لا طاعةَ لِمخلوقٍ في معصيةِ اللَّهِ إنَّما الطّاعةُ في المعروفِ ] (Musnad Ahmad: 1/94)

(4) Furthermore, from this blessed hadith, the concept of unconditional personal imitation (taqlid shakhsi) is completely refuted. Unconditional obedience is the exclusive right of Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), which cannot be given to anyone else.
