Hadith 1839 Part A

setting

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said

It is obligatory upon a Muslim that he should listen (to the ruler appointed over him) and obey him whether he likes it or not, except that he is ordered to do a sinful thing. If he is ordered to do a sinful act, a Muslim should neither listen to him nor should he obey his orders.
