00:00:00.820 --> 00:00:03.819
A hadith and commentary.

00:00:03.819 --> 00:00:08.800
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.410
"Whoever sees something from their leader that they dislike, let them be patient,

00:00:14.410 --> 00:00:19.410
for there is no one who separates from the community by even a span and then dies,

00:00:19.410 --> 00:00:23.730
but that they die a death of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah)."

00:00:23.730 --> 00:00:25.890
Agreed upon.

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:28.140
Commentary:

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:34.140
Hearing and obeying [the leaders] and adhering to the community are among the fundamental principles of the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah.

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:38.140
As for rebelling, acting unilaterally, and disputing the authority of those in power,

00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:40.140
these are among the hallmarks of the people of misguidance,

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.140
among whom are the Khawarij and the Mu'tazilah.
