2859. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷻ said: "Whoever obeys me, obeys Allâh, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allâh. Whoever obeys the ruler, obeys me, and whoever disobeys the ruler, disobeys me." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2859 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي، فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي، فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ أَطَاعَ الْإِمَامَ، فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي، وَمَنْ عَصَى الْإِمَامَ، فَقَدْ عَصَانِي»

a. Disobedience of the Prophet ﷺ is forbidden since it is actually disobedience of Allâh. b. "Ruler" means a head of the state or his appointed governor, judge or the chief of an army.
