00:00:00.820 --> 00:00:03.879
Hadith and commentary

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:09.080
On the authority of 'Ubadah Ibn al-Samit, who said:

00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:14.640
We pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, to hear and obey,

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.320
In times of our eagerness and our aversion,

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.920
And in our hardship and our ease.

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:21.359
End of the hadith.

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.489
Commentary:

00:00:23.489 --> 00:00:24.910
"Eagerness" refers to:

00:00:24.910 --> 00:00:29.750
The state in which a person is inclined to obey their leader.

00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:31.269
And "aversion" refers to:

00:00:31.429 --> 00:00:35.189
The state in which a person dislikes obeying him.

00:00:35.189 --> 00:00:38.469
Thus, obedience to him is mandatory in both states,

00:00:38.469 --> 00:00:41.270
Provided he does not command an act of disobedience to Allah.
