1099. ‘Adī bin Ḥātīm narrated that a person gave a Khutbah in front of the Prophet ﷺ, and said: “Whoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger, and whoever disobeys them...” So the Prophet ﷺ said: “Stand up...” or he said: “Leave, what a poor speaker you are!” (Sahih)
1099 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، أَنَّ خَطِيبًا خَطَبَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ رَشَدَ، وَمَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا، فَقَالَ: «قُمْ - أَوِ اذْهَبْ - بِئْسَ الْخَطِيبُ أَنْتَ»

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ disliked the use of a single pronoun, denoting a dual number, for both Allāh and himself since, by doing so, there is a hint of equating the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ with Allāh. While the same statement preceded from him ﷺ, in number 1097, but when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said “them” he was speaking about himself in the third person, meaning, he did not say: “whoever disobeys us...” but “whoever disobeys them,” and this is something that can only occur in his ﷺ case.
