´'Alqamah bin Wa'il bin Hujr narrated from his father:` "I heard the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) while a man was asking him: 'What do you see that we should do if there are leaders over us who deny our rights, while they seek their rights?' So the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said: 'Listen and obey, for only they are responsible for their burdens, and only you are responsible for your burdens."'

1؎: The meaning is that if the rulers do not give you your due share from the spoils of war (mal-e-ghanīmat) and the like, even then you should obey them; do not rise up against them. Your right will be given to you in the Hereafter just as those oppressive rulers will receive the punishment for their oppression.
