Auf ibn Malik relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: Your best rulers will be those whom you love and who love you, and for whom you pray and who pray for you; and your worst rulers will be those whom you hate and who hate you, and whom you curse and who curse you.

(Al-Qasas 85)

Ibn Umar relates that the Holy Prophet said: A Muslim is obligated to hear and obey whether he likes it or not, except when he is required to do something that is sinful, in which case there is no obligation to hear or to obey (Bokhari and Muslim). (Al-Qasas 85)

Ibn Umar relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: He who fails to obey in any respect shall meet his Lord on the Day of Judgment and will have no excuse to offer: and he who dies without having sworn allegiance will die in error (Muslim).

Abdullah ibn Umar relates: We were on a journey with the Holy Prophet and made camp, Some were busy putting up their tents, some were occupied with sports and others with their cattle when the herald of the Holy Prophet announced that it was time for the Prayer service. We gathered round the Holy Prophet and he addressed us, saying: Every Prophet before me was under obligation to instruct his people in that which he knew was good and to warn them against that which he apprehended was evil. As to you, you will be secure in the early part of your history and later you will encounter misfortune and that which you will dislike. One misfortune will make its predecessor appear light. One calamity will arrive and a believer will say: This is ruin; and it will pass and another will approach and he will say: This is the one, this is the one. Then he who desires to be rescued from the Fire and to enter Paradise should face his end while he believes in Allah and the Last Day, and should deal with others as he wishes to be dealt with. He who should have sworn allegiance to one leader and should have committed his hand and his heart to him should obey him to the limit of his capacity. If another should contest the authority of that leader he should be committed to the sword (Muslim).
