The Book on Jihad
Da'if

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ السَّمْعُ وَالطَّاعَةُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ وَكَرِهَ مَا لَمْ يُؤْمَرْ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَإِنْ أُمِرَ بِمَعْصِيَةٍ فَلاَ سَمْعَ عَلَيْهِ وَلاَ طَاعَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ ‏.‏ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Hearing and obeying is required from every Muslim man - in what he like and what he dislikes - as long as he is not ordered with disobedience. If he is ordered with disobedience, then no hearing or obeying is required of him." There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, 'Imran bin Husain, and Al-Hakam bin 'Amr Al-Ghifari. This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.
Narrated by Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Context

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasized the importance of obedience to Allah in matters that are not sinful. He clarified that while Muslims should listen and obey in all matters, disobedience to Allah's commands absolves them from that obligation. This highlights the balance between authority and personal accountability.

Modern Application

In contemporary life, this hadith encourages individuals to critically assess authority and to ensure that their actions align with ethical and moral principles. It serves as a reminder to prioritize obedience to Allah above all else.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Obedience to Allah and Prophetic Authority because it underscores the importance of following divine guidance while also recognizing the limits of obedience to human authority.
