4944. It was narrated that Tamīm Ad-Dārī said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Religion is sincerity, religion is sincerity, religion is sincerity.' They said: 'To whom, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'To Allāh, His Book, His Messenger, and the leaders of the believers and their common folk' – or 'the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

4944 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ» قَالُوا: لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «لِلَّهِ وَكِتَابِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ، وَأَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَعَامَّتِهِمْ، أَوْ أَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»

Commentary

Meaning, believe in and obey Allāh, recite and reflect and act upon His Book, to obey and follow the Messenger ﷺ, and to obey the Muslim rulers in what they order that does not involve disobedience to Allāh, and to behave well and give sincere advice to the Muslims.
