وَعَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «خِيَارُ أئمتكم الَّذين يحبونهم وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِي تبغضونهم ويبغضونكم وتلعنوهم ويلعنوكم» قَالَ: قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا نُنَابِذُهُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: «لَا مَا أَقَامُوا فِيكُمُ الصَّلَاةَ لَا مَا أَقَامُوا فِيكُمُ الصَّلَاةَ أَلَا مَنْ وُلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَالٍ فَرَآهُ يَأْتِي شَيْئًا مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَلْيَكْرَهْ مَا يَأْتِي مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَنْزِعَنَّ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
On the authority of Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “The best of your imams are those who love them and who love you, and you bless them and they pray.” Upon you are the worst of your imams, whom you hate and they hate you, and you curse them and they curse you.” He said: We said: O Messenger of God, shall we not oppose them? Then? He said: “No, as long as they establish prayer over you. No, as long as they establish prayer over you. Except for the one over whom a ruler has been appointed and sees him committing any act of disobedience to God, let him hate it.” It comes from disobedience to God and does not remove a hand from obedience.” Narrated by Muslim
