Hence, it is all the more incumbent upon every Muslim to offer sincere counsel to the one entrusted with authority over him, obey him in what is right, and harbor no evil, duplicity, or deceit toward him, for such conduct is contrary to the guidance of Islam and to what the Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called people. Allah Most High says: “O you who believe, obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you.” 1.

Muslim narrated in his Sahīh from Tamīm ibn Aws al-Dārī, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Religion is sincere counsel.” They asked, “To whom, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied, “To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims, and the Muslims generally.” 2.

It is also authentically reported in Sahīh Muslim from Abū Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Allah is pleased with three things for you: that you worship Him without associating anything with Him, that you all hold fast to the rope of Allah and do not become divided, and that you offer sincere counsel to those whom Allah has placed in authority over you.”3.

It is reported in the Sunan from Ibn Masūd and Zayd ibn Thābit, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “May Allah make radiant the one who hears a hadith from us and conveys it to someone who has not heard it. A person may convey knowledge to someone who understands it better than he does, and a person may carry knowledge without understanding it himself.

ومِن هنا فإنَّه يتأكَّد على كلِّ مسلم أن يكون ناصحاً لِمَن وليَ أمرَه، مطيعاً له بالمعروف، غير مبطنٍ لشرٍّ أو غِشٍّ أو خديعة؛ لمنافاة ذلك لهدي الإسلام، وما دعا إليه الرسول ﵊، قال الله تعالى: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ﴾ ١. روى مسلم في صحيحه عن تميم بن أوس الداريِّ ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: " الدِّينُ النصيحةُ، قالوا: لِمَن يا رسول الله؟ قال: لله، ولكتابه، ولرسوله، ولأئمَّةِ المسلمين وعامَّتهم " ٢. وثبت في صحيح مسلم أيضاً عن أبي هريرة ﵁ عن النبيِّ ﷺ قال: " إنَّ اللهَ يرضى لكم ثلاثاً: أن تعبدوه لا تشركوا به شيئاً، وأن تعتصموا بحبل الله جميعاً ولا تفرَّقوا، وأن تُناصِحوا مَن ولاَّه اللهُ أمرَكم "٣. وفي السنن من حديث ابن مسعود ﵁، وزيد بن ثابت ﵁، عن النبيِّ ﷺ قال: " نضَّر الله امرأً سمع منَّا حديثاً فبلَّغه إلى مَن لَم يسمعه، فرُبَّ حامل فقه إلى مَن هو أفقه منه، ورُبَّ حامل فقه غير فقيه، ثلاثٌ لا يغلُّ عليهنَّ قلبُ مسلم: إخلاص العمل لله،
