English translation

4198. Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever obeys me, obeys Allāh, and whoever disobeys me, disobeys Allāh. Whoever obeys my governor (Amīr), he has obeyed me, and whoever disobeys my governor, he has disobeyed me.'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

4193 - أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَنَّ زِيَادَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ، وَمَنْ أَطَاعَ أَمِيرِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي، وَمَنْ عَصَى أَمِيرِي فَقَدْ عَصَانِي»

Commentary

1. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ conveyed the message of Allāh, Most High. He did not fabricate the commands on his own. That is why obedience to the Prophet ﷺ is in reality obedience to Allāh. 2. 'My Amīr' means the one whom Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed. For instance, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appointed Mu'adh bin Jabal, 'Alī, and Abū Mūsā Al-Ash'ari as Amīr and sent them to Yemen.
