Command to obey the leader who upholds Allah's religion
Hadith 888
أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، نا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ الْحُصَيْنِ قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ بِعَرَفَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدٌ حَبَشِيٌّ مُجَدَّعٌ فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا أَقَامَ لَكُمْ دِينَ اللَّهِ)).
Lady Umm al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) delivering a sermon in the plain of Arafat. He was saying: "If a mutilated-nosed, Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader, then listen to him and obey him, as long as he upholds the religion of Allah among you."
