RIADH-US-SALEHEEN CHAP.80    On the obligation to obey those in authority as long as it is not a wrong action, and the prohibition against obeying them in an act of rebellion against Allah   Allah Almighty says, "O you who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those in command among you." (W4:58; H4:59)   663. Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, (PBUH), said, "A Muslim man must hear and obey both in respect of what he likes and dislikes, unless he is commanded to do a wrong action. If he is commanded to do a wrong action, he should not hear or obey." [Agreed upon] 664. Ibn 'Umar said, "When we used to give allegiance to the Messenger of Allah, (PBUH), to hear and obey, he would say to us, 'In so far as you are able.'" [Agreed upon]
