Riyad al-SalihinAl-Nawawi

“…The people of Paradise are three: (1) a ruler who is just and divinely aided; (2) a man who is kind-hearted and gentle toward every relative and every Muslim; and (3) a dignified, self-restrained person who supports a family.” Muslim narrated it.

80 – Chapter: The obligation to obey those in authority in all that is not disobedience, and the prohibition of obeying them in disobedience

Allah the Exalted says: “O you who believe! Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you.” (al-Nisāʾ 4:59)

668 – Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “A Muslim must listen and obey whether he likes something or dislikes it—unless he is commanded to commit sin. If he is commanded to sin, then there is neither listening nor obedience.” Agreed upon.

669 – He also said: Whenever we pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for listening and obeying, he would add, “To the extent of your ability.” Agreed upon.

670 – And he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declare, “Whoever casts off a handspan of obedience (1) will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection with no proof on his behalf; and whoever dies without a pledge of allegiance around his neck dies the death of the pre-Islamic Age of Ignorance (2).” Muslim related it.

In another wording of Muslim: “Whoever dies while he is apart from the community dies the death of the Age of Ignorance.”

The word mītah is pronounced with a kasrah on the mīm.

671 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stated, “Listen and obey, …”

(1) That is, he removes himself from it by rebelling against the imam and refusing to comply with him in matters that do not involve sin. (2) In other words, he dies in a state of misguidance, like the people of jahiliyya (the pre-Islamic age of ignorance), who would not submit to the authority of any ruler and regarded such submission as shameful.
« أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ : ذُو سُلْطَانٍ مُقْسِطٍ مُوَفَّقٍ ، وَرَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ رَقِيقُ الْقَلْبِ لِكُلِّ ذِي قُرْبَى وَمُسْلِمٍ ، وَعَفِيفٌ مُتَعَفِّفٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ » رواه مسلم . ٨٠ - باب وجوب طاعة ولاة الأمر في غير معصية وتحريمهم طاعتهم في المعصية قال الله تعالى : ﴿ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ﴾ [ النساء : ٥٩ ] . ٦٦٨ - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما ، عن النبي ﷺ قال : « على المرء المسلم السمع والطاعة فيما أحب وكره ، إلا أن يؤمر بمعصية ، فإذا أمر بمعصية فلا سمع ولا طاعة » متفق عليه . ٦٦٩ - وعنه قال : كُنَّا إِذَا بَايَعْنَا رسول الله ﷺ على السمع والطاعة يقول لنا : « فيما استطعتم » متفق عليه . ٦٧٠ - وعنه قال سمعتُ رسول الله ﷺ يقول : « من خلع يداً من طاعة (١) لقي الله يوم القيامة ولا حجة له ، ومن مات وليس في عنقه بيعة مات ميتة جاهلية (٢) » رواه مسلم . وفي رواية له : « ومن مات وهو مفارق للجماعة فإنه يموت ميتة جاهلية » . « الميتة » بكسر الميم . ٦٧١ - وعن أنس رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « أسمعوا وأطيعوا ،
(١) أي : خرج عنها بالخروج على الإمام وعدم الإنقياد له في غير معصية . (٢) أي : مات على الضلالة كما يموت أهل الجاهلية عليها ، فإنهم كانوا لا يدخلون تحت طاعة أمير ، ويرون ذلك عيباً .
